Artist/Band: Duke Ellington
Lyrics for Song: I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire
Lyrics for Album: Complete Standard Transcriptions [1999]



I don't ever care to rise to power

I would rather be with you an hour

For the things that one can buy

Are not worth a lover's sigh



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
