Lyrics Danny Kaye - I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire

I don’t want to set the world on fire,
I just want to start
A flame in your heart...
In my heart I have but one desire,
And that one is you,
No other will do!
I’ve lost all ambition for worldly acclaim,
I just want to be the one you love...
And with your admission, that you feel the same,
I’ll have reached the goal I’m dreaming of,
Believe me!

I don’t want to set the world on fire,
I just want to start
A flame in your heart...

[Spoken Word]

I don't wanna set the world on fire, honey,
I love ya' too much.
I just wanna start a great, big flame
Down in your heart...
You see, way down inside of me,
Darlin', I have only one desire.
And that one desire is you,
And, I know, nobody else ain't gonna do!

[Sung]

I’ve lost all ambition for worldly acclaim,
I just want to be the one you love...
And with your admission, that you feel the same,
I’ll have reached the goal I’m dreaming of
Believe me!

I don’t want to set the world on fire,
I just want to start
A flame in your heart...
