I'm on Fire Lyrics: Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?

The pedophile thing is valid, if someone wants to think of it that way. [quote name='Anders' timestamp='1304766138' post='2027507'] It's not just about abortion, though, but an unwanted teen pregnancy in general: "Oh May, do you wanna get married / Or run away?" I'm on fire Tell me now baby is he good to you Can he do to you the things that I do I can take you higher Oh Oh Oh I'm on fire Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley Through the middle of my soul At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet And a freight train running through the Middle of my head

Wasn't the first time Bruce wrote about it (Working on the Highway is almost explicitly about a man running off with an underage girl).

and the guy wanting to be able to be with/make the choice with the girl: "Oh May, put your arms around me / What you feel is what you are/ and what you are is beautiful" and "I wanna wake up where you are" and "I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete".

Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet And a freight train running through the middle of my head Only you can cool my desire Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire Label Columbia I've never even thought of it in that context.

from album: [quote name='Anders' timestamp='1304795274' post='2027647'] To me it's simply another way of saying "baby" in rock and roll lingo. [quote name='Anders' timestamp='1304766138' post='2027507']

I think it's the daddy that is the issue: "can he do to you the things that I do..." does mean that the "daddy" does sexual things to the "little girl" as the song is about sexual desire. [quote name='JohnF' timestamp='1304815695' post='2027703']

Of course, the 'little girl' expression has been around in rock'n'roll for yonks, and long before Bruce starting using it.

"Working On The Highway" and possibly "Darlington County" would be the examples I'd think of before "I'm On Fire".

Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet And a freight train running through the middle of my head Only you can cool my desire Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire Oh-oh-oh, I'm on fire

/ I got a bad desire / Oh, oh, oh / I'm on fire / Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?

), I just see it as a sugar daddy thing - leave that man you're with only for the money, I will make you happier.

Not that Bruce couldn't write about non-PC sexual activities (think Reno! Billy Straus, It's a '50s thing, nothing more IMHO. Album [quote name='Eden' timestamp='1304793291' post='2027633']

This song's different for everyone, and that's a good thing. Poorer but happier. The Beatles – “Run for Your Life” Creepiest Lyrics: Well I’d rather see you dead, little girl/Than to be …

Hey little girl is your daddy home Many Bruce fans will remember how, years ago, the writer Tony Parsons was a HUGE Bruce fan and wrote one of the best Bruce articles ever when he went to the States to see Bruce live and interview him on the '78 Tour. And on June 1st, 1985 the European leg of the 'Born In The U.S.A.' tour began at Slane Castle in Meath, Ireland; seven days later on June 8th "I'm On Fire", b/w "Born In The U.S.A.", peaked at #1 {for 2 weeks} on the Irish Singles chart.
