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 sighI 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 doI'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 meI don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start a flame in your heart
