Wild girl you rule the world
Don’t let others hold you down
Stand up to the forces
Make the choices
That make you wild
Wild and free

In my heart you’ll always be
The wild girl of my century
Eyes so rich and lips like gold
Make others jealous or so I’m told
‘Cause you’re my wild girl
My wild girl in the night
Don’t leave too soon

Don’t leave to soon or with a boom
Or leave me cryin’ in the rain and soaked with the pain
The pain of losin’ you
Just like that
Just like that

You snuffed out my candle
My candle of life
The life you gave me while you were around
Filling my brain with dreams and plans
Plans of our escape
Now that can never be
Never be again
For as long as I live

Wild girl you rule the world
Don’t let others hold you down
Stand up to the forces
Make the choices
That make you wild
Wild and free

You let them get to you and I warned you
I warned you good
But they sucked you in
Without a word
They turned your eyes the color of stone and lips to poison
Spitting poison at me
At me and my confusion
Why did you leave me my wild thing?
Leave me
Leave me for them?

My wild girl
So full of life
Got tricked into changing the life
The life you once knew
And leaving me
Forever alone
Cradle my head in your hands of wood
Feel for me the love you feel for them
Care for me
Feel for me
Before it’s too late

Wild girl you rule the world
Don’t let others hold you down
Stand up to the forces
Make the choices
That make you wild
Wild and free

Take me back my wild girl
Cast your life of sin away
Into the night
And fly with me
Away from their lies and masks of fondness
And come to my arms
Of truth and redemption
Where I’ll love you for you

And not for your cold heart
Or your ugly transformation

Where’s the girl I thought I knew?
Full of life, love laughter and a sense of self
Where’s the girl who told me I could be anything I wanted
Anything in the world
Where’s the girl that told me love is pain but to love is the greatest joy in the world
In the world
‘cause it’s all we have
All we have

Wild girl you rule the world
Don’t let others hold you down
Stand up to the forces
Make the choices
That make you wild
Wild and free
