Im On Fire Lyrics

Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Album: Im On Fire

Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I'm on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
and a freight train running through the
middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I'm on fire

The best song is of singer Johnny Cash.

I love the Tori Amos version

by Huwawa on 3/19/2009 12:12pm
This song sounds like it was written by some pediphile sicko.

by Sue on 5/12/2009 8:40am
totally pedo.. Would sound worse if he would say Hey Little Boy.. and the being alone and the desire.. Im telling you.. he must have some pedo sort of pedo in him..

by Karl on 10/2/2009 7:37pm
umm you guys are stupid, this has nothing to do with little kids and being a pedo, do some research and you will know what its really about...actually pretty sad if you ask me

by J on 10/21/2009 9:43pm
its not pedo because back in the day is your daddy home refer to her husband

I�ve always considered the songs of Bruce Springsteen great, but
this is so beautyful, although
I would like if it were a little bit longer.

by weezy on 1/13/2010 6:56pm
no it cant be longer, when the CD came out it was about 3 minutes short. They told him they needed to fill that space so he wrote this song. Good things come in small packages.

by amoula on 5/13/2010 2:37pm
nice song calm soft which takes u to another world

by rbm3 on 6/2/2010 9:55am
Amazing song.
Im pretty sure the lyric is 'through the middle of my skull', not soul, but I could be mistaken.

by yasiras's friend on 9/2/2010 4:44pm
i've never heard this song but it liked to my dear friend yasira aliri lopez so she is not more in this world she is with GOD now she was a very nice person GOD had a pourpuse for her so she complete it in all this time she talked to all her family about GOD and she wanted they to retourn to GOD's presence so she did that
Now everry body who knews to yasira remember her always please she was a faithful worker

by berner_s on 10/7/2010 5:47pm
I've never heard the Bruce Springsteen, but I love the cover by John Mayer... I'd say the lyrics are questionable though.

by Melody on 3/3/2011 8:23am
This is such a sick song! Why doesn't anyone notice this?
He is on fire? From a little girl?
WTF????

Yeah, the Boss of the Pedos.

by NO PEDO! on 6/27/2012 6:24pm
This is not a pedo song, watch the video.

Second, it's "skull" not "soul" in the lyrics.

by Rachel A Robinson on 7/21/2012 5:58am
Oh my goodness! I'm so peeed off, my ex-boyfriend who likes to think of himself as 'in the music industry' told me that it was written about a peodo!! It sounds like he was completely wrong and I've been passing this info on! Really annoyed because love that song and couldn't listen to it once he told me that!!

Words mean something. No wonder that man is a big fan of the Clinton’s and the rest of them.👎
