Something Wild
John Hiatt

Sometimes I don't even move a muscle

Baby when you lie awake at night

I think I've got nine lives in these corpuscles

Girl, you know sometimes I don't think right


I hear voices in the hall

I wake up and it's nothing at all

A hungry wolf, or an agry child


Or something wild

Something wild

Something wild - tell me love is

Something wild - tell me love is


It's not as if we could think that things were one way

And they would all just be that way right now

When I was a kid I thought that someday

I could tame this lion heart, some way, somehow


Now I'm hungry for the love

That doesn't know what it's dreamin' of

Raging for the meek and mild


Like something wild

Something wild

Something wild - tell me love is

Something wild - tell me love is


There's a hole where the wind blows through

And some curtains hung

But I can't hid a thing from you

You know where I come from


Well I tried getting there under my own steam

'til my very last chance was shot

Now you're under my skin like a submarine

I can feel you in my veins running hot


Now if it's more than a new pair of jeans, a new car, some pocket money

And a place to go

Then we better get up and scream at the top of our lungs like it

Was gonna die if we didn't make it so


I hear voices in the hall

I wake up and it's nothing at all

An angry wolf, or a hungry child


Or something wild

Something wild

Something wild - tell me love is

Something wild - tell me love is

Something wild

Something wild

Something wild
