Minnie Riperton - Light My Fire Lyrics






You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Ooh, we couldn't get much higher

Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through
There's no time to wallow in the mire
Darling, we could only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you, hey
Darling, we couldn't get much higher

Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
...

[Jose:]
Oh... listen I'm here to light your fire, baby
Cause you been given me inspiration, darlin'...
And I'm here to fill you with desire

[Minnie:]
Well then fill me with desire
Light my fire

[Jose:]
You light my fire... I'll light your fire
Light your fire, light your fire anytime you want
I'll get you higher... light your fire...
Would you let me, let me, let me, let me love you...

[Minnie:]
I'll let you...
Come here and light my fire, baby...
Oh... you make me feel so good... so good baby...

[Jose:]
Aye! Que rico esta hueso mirar, ooh baby, yeah
Voy a prender ese fuego ese fuego caliente que cosa mas rico
Es asi mama, que buena estas, aye...

[Minnie:]
Eso es muy cierto muchacho
Que rico esta

    that bass got damn

    M.... R....

    Sounds like Anthony Jackson.

    M.... R....

    Close. It's actually Abraham Laboriel. (They used the same effects.)

  21. T.... S....

    This is one of the classic songs by both Jose & Minnie; they compliment each other so well. Gone to soon... But the vibes live on.

  22. M.... B....

    Timeless classic for real.

  23. A.... P....

    I see she corrected the grammar; "if I were to say to you,..."

  24. 7.... H....

    I don't know what the hell Jose is saying at 4:15, but the answer is "Hell Yeah! Come on with it!" LOL

    7.... H....

    DiEdra Stinson: Girl, I thought the same thang... "Baby, TALK DAT TALK to me!" LOL

    7.... H....

    DiEdra Stinson Right! 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

    7.... H....

    Because that he says is in spanish :) He says "I will set that fire, that glowing fire.. What a delicius thing.. Yeah girl, you're so hot"
    And she corresponds with a "that's true, man. You're so hot" but in spanish too.

    7.... H....

    I think he told minnie he'll tear that thang up!!!!!!!! Lol

  25. T.... H....

    Sexy ass song

  26. R.... M....

    chucky e alien

  27. F.... ....

    What I love about great remakes is that they don't step on the original, they find their own style and reinterpret the feeling of the song. That's why I entirely love this version by Minnie and Jose. It's gorgeous on its own merit.

  28. L.... R....

    YES, YOU GO! THE ARTISTS NOT ONLY SANG FROM THE HEART. THEY REACHED DOWN DEEP WITHIN THEIR SOULS, THE SPIRIT AND HEART HARMONIZED AND BLENDED WITH THE SOUL, BROUGHT OUT SO MUCH TRUE LOVE. EVEN PARTY SONGS...SMILING.

  61. c.... g....

    Do you hear that great bassline? You never get to song like it did on a record but it very close. It had a certain sound.

  62. P.... ....

    Wonderful! I LOVE this song.
    MInnie is the greatest DIVA!

  63. r.... ....

    Beautiful, sultry - the best version of this song!

  64. p.... ....

    OMG I thought I was the only one who loved Minnie Riperton LOL. She was way before my time. My mother had a tape of her that was half worn out and I wore it the rest of the way just playing and replaying it.

  65. B.... R....

    I've always loved this song..RIP Minnie, you will be forever missed...

  66. C.... P....

    I knew I would like this particular MOJO disc (last year) when they chose to put this on.

    I mean, there's tons of other great stuff on there like Al Green doing "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and a string quartet arrangement of "Autobahn," but this stole the show for me.

    Nice one, Minnie and Jose!

  67. r.... ....

    This is the sh*t!!!

  68. F.... ....

    Oh man, I remember this track....this was really good, and got funky towards the end....NICE!!!

  69. 1.... ....

    Ooh thank you for this, baby!

  70. 1.... ....

    Oh Yes!
    I LOVE this song.
    I don't speak a word of spanish nor do I understand it, but Jose Feliciano makes this song great. God, it gets me way down deep to hear him do his part!
    Thanks so much for posting this song.
