WILD CHILD

HOLDING YOU CLOSE
AS WE DANCE TOGETHER
AND YOU SAY YOU WANT ME TO COME HOME WITH YOU
YOU SAY THAT YOU WANT ME
AND YOU’LL LOVE ME FOREVER
BUT I DON’T BEIEVE YOU
BECAUSE I’VE HEARD A THING OR TWO

THEY SAY THAT YOU’RE A WILD CHILD
YOU’RE WILD AS THE BREEZE THAT RUSTLES THE LEAVES
YOU’RE JUST A WILD CHILD
AND NOTHING’S GONNA CHANGE YOU AT ALL

MAYBE YOUR PARENTS DIDN’T LOVE YOU ENOUGH
TO MAKE YOU SO WILD AND SO FULL OF CRAZY STUFF
RUNNIN’ AROUND BREAKING ALL THE BOYS’ HEARTS
BUT YOU WON’T BREAK MINE CUZ I’M JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO SMART

I KNOW THAT YOU’RE A WILD CHILD
YOU’RE JUST AS WILD AS THE HOWL OF A COYOTE ON THE PROWL
YOU’RE JUST A WILD CHILD
AND NOTHING’S GONNA CHANGE YOU AT ALL

B UT IT’S SURE BEEN FUN HAVIN’ FUN WITH YOU
FOOLIN’ AROUND MAKIN’ TIME
A TIME OR TWO
BUT PLAYING WITH FIRE SOONER OR LATER GONNA GET YOU BURNED
SO I’LL JUST SAY SO LONG
HASTA LA VISTA SEE YOU SOON

CUZ YOU’RE JUST A WILD CHILD
YOU’RE WILD AS THE WIND AND YOU KEEP BLOWIN IN
YOU’RE JUST A WILD CHILD
AND NOTHING’S GONNA CHANGE YOU AT ALL

DARLING YOU’RE A WILD CHILD
YOU’RE WILD AS THE BREEZE THAT RUSTLES THE LEAVES
YOU’RE A WILD CHILD
YOU’RE JUST AS WILD AS THE COYOTE’S HOWL
YOU’RE JUST A WILD CHILD
YOU’RE WILD AS THE WIND AND YOU KEEP BLOWIN IN
YOU’RE JUST A WILD CHILD
YOU’RE WILD AND YOU’RE FREE AND YOU’RE JUST A LITTLE TOO WILD FOR ME

Paul McMahon image

Paul McMahon Woodstock, New York

From a musical family he explored folk, jug, blues and rock quitting music at 20 for art, returning as a punk rocker at 27. Then a long oddysey, solo and band in search of the real real deal; the songs becoming a diary of psychological and spiritual experience; shamanism and ordination as an Interfaith minister.
January 2020 tour of DC Ba Ph & Bk was his first at 69 organized by Goodflavor45 ... more
