Light My Fire Lyrics
[Organ Intro]
[Verse 1]
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
[Chorus]
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
[Verse 2]
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now, we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
[Chorus]
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Organ Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now, we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
[Chorus]
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
[Verse 4]
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
[Chorus]
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire

It’s like I’d saved up all [these ideas] in my mind and got them out all at once… Jim had this idea of the band being a shooting star.
Did Ed Sullivan really ask the Doors to change the lyrics?
He did indeed, as higher was deemed as a cannabis smoking reference, the Doors said they would comply, and they didn’t! The rest is history!!
Why is the album version so much longer than the radio edit?
Robby Krieger via Guitar World:
That always bothered me…We never wanted to cut it, but our first single, ‘Break On Through,’ flopped and radio stations told us that ‘Light My Fire’ would be a hit if we cut it down. We didn’t have much choice because AM radio ruled everything, and if you wanted to g...
