Wild Child

And I said
"No, you're my wild child
Wild child, I love you
Be my wild child
Wild child be mine"

Well, pretty young wrecking ball
I saw her moving in the dance halls
Took all my strength to get off the wall
'Cause I'm terrified of beautiful women

And I said
"No, you're my wild child
Wild child, I love you
Be my wild child
Wild child be mine"

If she loves you, you let her go
And if you love her, you know she'll move slow
Your head says, "Stop," but your heart yells, "No"
She'll always leave you, and this I know

And this I know, this I know, man, this I know
And this I know, this I know, man, this I know
And this I know

Wild child, I can't get enough
Keep me down, I'm coming up
Take me to your promised land
Tie me down, I am your man, yeah

Well, you are the fuel for alcohol
You are the grace before the fall
You are the reasons I can't sleep at night
And oh my God, I've made this up
Or am I really calling bluff?
And what'd you see in him and not in me?

So one more drink and I'll be fine
Stumbling down the railroad line
I have no course, I do not have the time

And this I know, this I know, man, this I know
And this I know, this I know, man, this I know
And this I know

Wild child, I can't get enough
Keep me down, I'm coming up
Take me to your promised land
Tie me down, I am your man, yeah

Wild child, I can't get enough
Keep me down, I'm coming up
Take me to your promised land
Tie me down, I am your man, yeah
