Light My Fire
Set me ablaze
Light My Fire is a phrase meaning to arouse passion, excitement, or desire in someone.
It draws on fire as a metaphor for intense emotion or sexual attraction: She really lights my fire.
The expression gained wide currency after the 1967 Doors song of the same title, though the underlying metaphor is ancient.
