Fire (Jimmy Hendrix cover) [Dennis DeYoung]

Fire
Written by Jimi Hendrix
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung

You don't care for me
I don't care about that
You got a new fool
I like it like that
I have only one burning desire
Let me stand next to your fire

Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire

You say your Mama ain't home
Well, that ain't my concern
Just play with me
And you won't get burned
I have only one itching desire
Let me stand next to your fire

Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire

Let me stand--Let me stand
Let me stand--Let me stand

(Now listen here, baby)
You wanna give me your money?
You better save it, babe
Well, save it for your rainy day

I have only one burning desire
Let me stand next to your fire

Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire

Let me stand--Let me stand
Let me stand--Let me stand

Interpretation

I know you have moved on have a new boyfriend (You don't care for me, I don't care about that / You got a new fool, I like it like that), but I still want to be near you.  You can make excuses (You say your Mama ain't home, well, that ain't my concern) but you can trust me (Just play with me, and you won't get burned).  I don't want your money, you need it more than me (You wanna give me your money? / You better save it, babe, well, save it for your rainy day).  I just want to be near you.
