              Intro:  E  C#m (x2) 
 
  
 
E 
Hey little girl is your daddy home 
                                                                    A 
 
Did he go away and leave you all alone   Mmm-hmm 
                      C#m 
 
I got a bad desire 
 
A  B              E 
Oh.... I'm on fire 
 
E 
 
Tell me now baby is he good to you 
                                                                  A 
 
Can he do to you the things I don?t do  Mmm-hmm 
                       C#m 
 
I can take you higher 
A  B              E 
Oh.... I'm on fire 
 
 
 
E  C#m (x2) 
 
  
 
                              A 
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby 
 
                                    E 
edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley 
 
                    C#m 
through the middle of my soul 
 
 
 
     E 
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet 
and a freight train running through the 
middle of my head 
 
         A                          C#m 
Only you can cool my desire 
A  B              E 
Oh.... I'm on fire 
 
A  B              E 
Oh.... I'm on fire 
 
A  B              E 
Oh.... I'm on fire 
 
  
 
E  C#m (x4)
