Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
                                       A
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
               C#m
I got a bad desire
A       B           E
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire

Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire

 E                   A
Sometimes it's like someone took
a knife, baby, edgy and dull
           E
And cut a six-inch valley through
     C#m
the middle of my skull
    E
At night, I wake up with the sheets soakin' wet
And a freight train runnin'
through the middle of my head
      A                C#m
Only you can cool my desire

A       B           E
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire

C#m  E
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
