[Verse 1]
Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire

[Refrain]
Oh-oh-oh
I'm on fire

[Verse 2]
Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
I can take you higher

[Refrain]
Oh-oh-oh
I'm on fire

[Verse 3]
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull
At night, I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
You can cool my desire

[Refrain]
Oh-oh-oh
I'm on fire
Oh-oh-oh
I'm on fire
Oh-oh-oh
I'm on fire

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

Dapperton began making his own music after winning a songwriting contest in the eighth grade and then eventually released his first single “Moodna, Once With Grace” in 2016. He gained traction when his singles “I’m Just Snacking” and “Prune, You Talk Funny” went viral on YouTube in 2017 and he has dropped a project every year from then to 2020 with his debut album Where Polly People Go to Read. coming out in 2019.

Dapperton specialises in genre-bending music that contradicts itself and defies the norm and he describes himself as “a producer first and foremost”. Sonically, he often juxtaposes sunny-sounding beats with eccentric lyrics that discuss saddening themes and showcase his diverse vocals that range from velvety to gravelly.
