TO LOVE A WILD THING

i’ll chew you up and spit you out

you’re nothing to us now

sweetie, you’re so sad

makes me wanna laugh

i’ll always be around to put you down

you can’t hurt me, baby

but I can kill you with just a look

don’t think you’re special

you can’t come around here again

i’ll knock you down, i’ll knock you out

i won’t even have to lift a finger

honey, take a hint

look where i’m standing, look where you’re staring

you’re nothing to us now but a sad, sad memory

a silly little girl

you’re not a princess, bitch

wash out your hair dye and wipe off your caked up face

look in the mirror and you’ll see what i mean when i say

you’re nothing to us now

you’d do anything for yourself but there’s nobody to help you out

it’s a sad life, i’m sure

i can tell you wish you weren’t where you are

but wishing you were where i’ve landed

so sorry sweetie, but that’s what you get

you’re nothing to us now

why’d you have to go

run out on me

promises don’t mean a thing when you’re looking for a way out

why’d you have to go

letting me down

it’s my fault, all the things i did

it’s your fault, all the things i need

what’d i do to make you give up

why’d you have to go and leave me broken 

and even though you’re holding me now

i wonder if you’re ever gonna love me

what’s the point of hoping you won’t go again

i scare myself thinking

and i scare you too

at least you know you made a mistake

i’m sorry i’m a liar but i love you

baby, i love you like i loved the stars

why’d you have to go, leaving me in the dark 

i spent a lot of time wondering where i went wrong

i spent a lot of time scared of myself

now i’m only scared of watching you go

tell me one thing, pretty please

promises, you mean them with all you’ve got

i’ll never let you down

i promise i’ll always lift you up and kiss you when you need me

but even if i get shitty, stay

i need you to stay with me, baby

and i’ll stay too, always with you

red hair, blowing in the wind

i’m your barefoot princess

with red lips, I’ll blow you a kiss

bat my eyelashes just to get what I want

my tricks don’t work on you

that’s just what i like

close your eyes, can you keep a secret?

we’ll drive all night and i’ll whisper in your ear

you’re just what i need,

i’ll always keep you

sweet baby, you’re mine

wrapped around my little finger by choice

i look like an angel but i swear to you i’m not

i’m bad news, baby

sun’s comin’ up and i’m telling you

i’m a wild thing, baby

born to drag you down 

loving me was your first mistake

but i promise you, it’ll be the greatest thing you ever do

i’m not much of a lady

but i sure do have a pretty face

i don’t even know how to write

i just say the things i’m thinking

all the things about you

i’ll just sing it for you

give me a smile, you’re perfect for me, baby
