Hey little girl, is your daddy home?

I got a bad desire;
F G C
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire.
C
Tell me pretty baby is he good to you?
F
Can he do to you the things that I do now?
Am
I can take you higher;
F G C
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire.
(Intro Riff)
Am
Sometimes it feels like someone took a knife
baby edgy and dull, and cut a
F
six-inch valley through the middle of my skull.
C
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet,
And a freight train running through the
F
middle of my head.
Am
It can cool my desire.
F G C
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire.
F G C
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire.
F G
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire.
Mmmmhmmm, yeah.
