I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire Composer(s): Eddie Seiler; Sol Marcus; Bennie Benjamin; Eddie Durham First release by: Harlan Leonard and His Rockets - 1940 Covered by multiple other artists
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
