I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire – The Ink Spots (1941)
- 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
[Spoken Word]
- I don't wanna set the world on fire, honey
- I love ya too much
- I just wanna start a great big flame
- Down in your heart
- You see, way down inside of me
- Darlin' I have only one desire
- And that one desire is you
- And I know nobody else ain't gonna do
[Sung]

- I don’t want to set the world on fire
- I just want to start
- A flame in your heart

Effecting Change
It only makes it harder to effect change for the better when family fails to do the same.
But I promised myself that the cycle would be broken, either now or after me.
P.S., Only insensitive morons call the house line at 2:30AM. At least call the cell phone, which would more likely be in the bedroom of the person you're trying to reach. Even then, calling that late is still a dick move. Kids these days... I bet that was a drunk dial.
