[Intro: Anthony Kiedis]
Well, alright
Now, dig this
[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
You don't care for me, I don't care 'bout that
You got a new fool, huh? I like it like that, ha-ha
I have only one burnin' desire
Oh, ah, could I make love with your fire?
[Chorus 1: Hillel Slovak, Flea, & Anthony Kiedis]
Let me stand next to your fire (Fire, fire, fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Burnin', smoky fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Freaky, static fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Aw yeah)
[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis]
Wah-huh
Now, just listen to this
Stop actin' so crazy
Say your mom ain't home, ain't my concern
Just don't play with me, and you won't get burned
I have only one burnin' desire
I'm gonna be doin' it in your fire
[Chorus 2: Hillel Slovak, Flea, & Anthony Kiedis]
Let me stand next to your fire (Fire, fire, fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Oh, to your fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Freaky, static fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Aw yeah)
[Bridge: Anthony Kiedis]
Oh, move over, Rover, and let Mr. Huckleberry take over
You know he's bad, you know he drowns, you know who he gives it to, yeah, ah yeah
That's right
Now, dig this
[Verse 3: Anthony Kiedis]
You try to give me your money, you better save it, babe
Save it for your rainy day
I have only one burnin' desire
Oh, can I make love over your fire?
[Chorus 3: Hillel Slovak, Flea, & Anthony Kiedis]
Let me stand next to your fire (Fire, funky, fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Freaky, static fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Oh, to your fire)
Let me stand next to your fire
[Outro: Anthony Kiedis]
You better slide yo ass over, girl
'Cause I'm comin' through once, and I'm comin' the way you must be
Well, alright
Now, dig this
[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]
You don't care for me, I don't care 'bout that
You got a new fool, huh? I like it like that, ha-ha
I have only one burnin' desire
Oh, ah, could I make love with your fire?
[Chorus 1: Hillel Slovak, Flea, & Anthony Kiedis]
Let me stand next to your fire (Fire, fire, fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (Burnin', smoky fire)

Let me stand next to your fire (Aw yeah)
