Lyrics Light my fire

Light My Fire was mainly composed by Robby Krieger, guitarist of The Doors. It became one of the bands biggest hits, known for Ray Manzareks intricate organ play and Jim Morrisons iconic vocals. It was inspired by love songs but also touches on themes of desire and liberation. The song catapulted the band to international fame when released as a single in 1967.

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
(break)
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fi re
