The whole town was ours From the Texaco, from the county line out to the downtown bars We made our mark underneath those stars You drove my Jeep like a new Corvette Stole my sheets from me in my bed Kissed me in the aisle of that CVS It's a wild thing When keeping up with your heart's like tryna catch lightning Or holding a hurricane in your arms We had to find out the hard way You can try but you can't tame a wild thing You and I was a wild thing, wild thing ♪ You had beautiful reckless ways Of seeing the world and I promise you girl I don't see it the same Love like that can't be contained It's a wild thing When keeping up with your heart's like tryna catch lightning Or holding a hurricane in your arms We had to find out the hard way You can try but you can't tame a wild thing And you and I was a wild thing, wild thing You and I was a wild thing, wild thing Danced in the rain in our bare feet At two AM on an empty street I held on, you set me free It's a wild thing When keeping up with your heart's like tryna catch lightning Or holding a hurricane in your arms We had to find out the hard way You can try but you can't tame a wild thing And you and I was a wild thing, wild thing You and I was a wild thing, wild thing (You drove my Jeep like a new Corvette) (Stole my sheets from me in my bed) (Kissed me in the aisle of that CVS) It's a wild thing
