Soul On Fire

LaVern Baker · 1949-1954 [2005]

Well I could play with Tom, Dick, and Harry

but for me you're the only one

Who makes me me shiver,

makes me tingle,

and who brings my loving down



I played the love game before I met him

It's a game I've always won

but now you set my soul on fire and I really had my fun



With other boyfriends, the good-time men friends

I still had to walk this road all by myself

I was their play girl, a careless gay girl

but I put them all on the shelf



I found my true love with you forever

and my life has just begun

cause now you set my soul on fire

and I really had my fun



Good bye to play boys

those hey hey hey boys

good bye to everyone but you my love

no more heart aches no more heart breaks

I swear by all the stars above,

well on my soul, my love, my heart

I'll miss you darling from now on

Cause now you set my soul on fire and I really had my fun
