Wild Baby

Bill stayed awake thinking about his ex-lover all night long
He was just trying to discover where he went wrong
I said Billy you got about as much sense as a cat up a tree
She’s just a wild baby, don’t take it personally.

Chorus:
Wild baby, wild baby, look at her go
You better not bother to judge her, she’s got a tough row to hoe
Ain’t nobody taking her picture, she can’t sit still for a pose
Wild baby, wild baby – comes, then she goes.

Well Billy just took one look and he was head over heels
Clock wouldn’t stop, he took what comfort he could steal
The murky purple water rippled underneath her eyes
His solo stance softened under sweet surprise

He said may I have this dance, my you look lovely tonight
She said I imagine you’ll love how I look in the morning light
Oh yeah, I saw you taking aim, now why don’t we take flight
Billy said my name is Billy – excuse me I’m going to ignite

Chorus- Solo – Chorus

Well Billy hypnosis ain’t got a whole lot on reality
And it sounds like you willingly gave up your rights from what I can see
You’re down, the wild baby is long gone from town and you’re half past alive
I don’t know what to say it’s a game that you played we can go for a drive

So Billy and me ended up driving slow down a road full of ruts
We drove by the slaughter barn, Billy said there is a storm in my guts
And my pocket calculator ain’t capable of counting the cost
I said Billy you know it’s the nature of pavement to buckle under frost

Chorus

Wild baby, wild baby, look at her go
You better not bother to judge her she’s got a tough row to hoe
Ain’t nobody taking her picture, she can’t sit still for a pose
Wild baby, wild baby – comes, then she goes.
