"I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire" lyrics

"I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire"
(originally by The Ink Spots)

I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start a flame in your heart
I don't ever care to rise to power
I would rather be with you unknown

I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim
I just want to be the one you love
And with your admission that you'd feel the same
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of, believe me
