Ah-ah, ah-ah

Strike a match and set me on fire
Watch it burn and my flames gettin' higher
You light me up, sweet ole desire
So won't you come close to my fire?

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Baby, it's cold when you're gone
Don't make me wait, wait too long
Whenever you're near, I'm high on this fever
You're making me weak, oh, I'm a believer
So

Strike a match and set me on fire
Watch it burn, and my flames gettin' higher
You light me up, sweet ole desire
So won't you come close to my fire?

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Boy, you are my tempting delusion
You're meltin' it down, my resolution
I can't escape, can't say I'm trying
You say my name, oh, I can't hide it

So come on, sugar, don't slow it down
I won't stop craving 'til you come around
You can't deny it, you're right here at home
The embers is waitin', you know I want you to...

Strike a match and set me on fire
Watch it burn, and my flames gettin' higher
You light me up, sweet ole desire
So won't you come close to my fire?

Ain't no need to tell me, boy
Ain't no need to tell me, boy
Because I know I want you to

Strike a match and set me on fire
Watch it burn, and my flames gettin' higher
You light me up, oh-yeah-yeah
You light me up, oh, come on
I say you light me up, sweet ole desire
So won't you come close to my fire?

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Sweet ole desire

Winehouse was just a cheap copy of singers of the jazz age.

She certainly didn't create the genre nor the 'sound', but she absolutely excelled at it.  She's among the very best.

A little Amy Winehouse influence maybe?

Slackwax are most famous for their 2010 hit single "Close to My Fire" (written by Peter Hoppe and Anna Leyne).

Edit: Spotify and (as Huey notes) some YouTube videos list the song as "Slackwax feat. Anna Leyne." Since RP has the ability to link featured artists separately, maybe we could update the artist, too?
