  • Got your lady on the line
    Got your name on the cover
    Though your friends are ninety-nine
    Honey you ain't got no lover
    And you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no lover
    And you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no other

    I remember the feelin' that I could be free
    Now I know it could never ever be me
    'Cause I'm on fire
    Got myself on fire

    Got your joker on the table
    You've been told from time to time
    I'll be willin', I'll be able
    You could read between the lines

    But you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no lover, lover, lover
    And you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no other

    I remember the feelin' that I could be free
    Now I know it could never ever be me
    'Cause I'm on fire
    I'm-a I'm on fire

    But you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no lover, lover, lover, lover
    And you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no other, other, other, other
    And you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no lover, lover, lover

    I'm on fire
    I'm on fire (and you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no lover, lover, lover)
    I'm on fire (lover, lover, lover, lover)
    I'm on fire (lover, lover, lover) Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
