LYRICS - Light My Fire:
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Boy, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love becomes a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose A
nd our love becomes a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Come on baby, light my fire

LYRICS - I Am What I Am:
I am what I am
I am my one special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook
Of your avaition
It's my world
That I've want to have a little pride in
My world
And it's not a place
I have to hide in
Life's not worth a dam
Till you can say
Hey, what I am is what I am
I am what I am
I don't want praise
I don't want pithy
I bang my own drum
Some think it's nice
I think it's pretty
And so what
If I love each other
And each spangle?
Why not
Try and seek to try a different angle
Your life is a sham
Till you can say
Hey, what I am is what I am
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own set
Sometimes it's yes
And sometimes are juices
It's my life
And there is no return
And no disposed
What life
So it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a dam
Till you can say
Hey, what I am is what I am

Oh baby
Freemasons feat Katherine Ellis - when YOU touch me
I'm so sick and tired of sitting talking to you
Yeah that's right
You never tell me anything that I wanna know 'bout your life
But baby when you touch me on my body
I love every feeling that I used to know
And baby when you touch me on my body
I'm losing my mind every time here I go
But baby when you touch me on my body
I love every feeling that I used to know
And baby when you touch me on my body
I'm losing my mind every time here I go
Baby, yeah that's right (2x)
I despise that you know
I'm too weak to say no
I can scream, I can shout
But you still got a hold
Oh baby
My friend are mystified about what I see in you
When you got that right
But they don't know why I put up with all that you do
Oh 'cause you love me right
Am I an addict only hanging out for your touch?
Oh oh oh oh
Well I should go, but maybe I could see you just once
Baby one more time, oh yeah
'Cause baby when you touch me on my body
I lose every feeling that I used to know
And baby when you touch me on my body
I'm losing my mind every time here I go
'Cause baby when you touch me on my body
I lose every feeling that I used to know
And baby when you touch me on my body
I'm losing my mind every time here I go
Oh baby, I could see you just one more time
Baby, yeah that's right
Oh, It's the way that you love me
Baby, yeah that's right
I know, you're never gonna be ready baby?
Baby, yeah that's right
Talk to me baby, oh, you know I, You know what I want
Come on just touch me on my body
I lose every feeling that I used to know
And baby when you touch me on my body
I'm losing my mind every time here I go
'Cause baby when you touch me on my body
I lose every feeling that I used to know
And baby when you touch me on my body
I'm losing my mind every time here I go
Baby, yeah that's right (2x)
