I don't want to set the world on fire,
I just want to start a flame in your heart
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.
In my heart I have but one desire,
and that one is you,
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.
I just want to start a flame in your heart
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.
In my heart I have but one desire,
and that one is you,
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.

Testo trovato su WWII In American Music
Una canzone molto popolare nel 1941, proposta da tante big band bianche (quelle di Horace Heidt, Vincent Lopez e Tommy Tucker, per esempio) così come da questo gruppo vocale nero che negli anni 30 e 40, insieme ai Mills Brothers, contribuì a definire il doo-wop.
Suona davvero piuttosto “pacifista” e “disfattista”, ma di lì a poco l’attacco giapponese a Pearl Harbor e allora parole come queste avrebbero dovuto aspettare qualche anno per essere riproposte…
