My gal and I, we had a fightAnd I'm all by myselfI guess she thinks now that she's goneI'll lay right on the shelfI'm gonna show her she's all wrongNo lonesome stuff for mineI won't sit home, all aloneShe'll soon find that I'mRunnin' wild, lost controlRunnin' wild, mighty boldFeelin' gay, reckless tooCare free mind all the time, never blueAlways goin' don't know whereAlways showin', I don't careDon't love nobody, it's not worth whileAll alone, runnin' wild. Runnin' wildWhen I first met that gal of mineIt seemed just like a dreamBut when she tho't she had me rightShe started actin' meanLike mary led her little lambShe led me all the timeUntil the worm had to turnThat's the reason I'mRunnin' wild, lost controlRunnin' wild, mighty boldFeelin' gay, reckless tooCare free mind all the time, never blueAlways goin' don't know whereAlways showin', I don't careDon't love nobody, it's not worth whileAll alone, runnin' wild. Runnin' wildNo gal will ever make a fool of meNo gal! I mean just what I sayI ain't the simpleton I used to beWonder how I got that wayOnce I was full of sentiment, it's trueBut now I got a cruel heartWith all that other foolishness I'm throughGonna play the Villain partRunnin' wild, lost controlRunnin' wild, mighty boldFeelin' gay, reckless tooCare free mind all the time, never blueAlways goin' don't know whereAlways showin', I don't careDon't love nobody, it's not worth whileAll alone, runnin' wild. Runnin' wild
