Wild Thing Songtext
von Liz Phair

Wild Thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it, Wild Thing

There′s hardly a man left around that you haven't sought out
There′s hardly a dress shop in town that you haven't bought out
In case you're wondering why the hair salon wouldn′t take you
There′s hardly a woman left in any state that doesn't hate you

Wild Thing, you made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it, Wild Thing
It′s truly awesome


When she was younger, she thought her mother had missed her calling
And she in turn, thought that her daughter's conduct was appalling
After each date she had the boys went home and dreamed of spiders
She never fell for any man who wasn′t rich as Midas

Wild Thing, you made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it, Wild Thing
It's truly awesome

If there′s a lesson to be learned, then I'm sure I don't know it
We′ve all been waiting 20 years to see her finally blow it
But as far as I can tell, she′s happy, rich, and worry-free, and-
That's a hell of a lot more than I can say for me, and-

Wild Thing, you made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it Wild Thing


Wild Thing, you made your heart sing
You bought everything you wanted
Spend it, spend it, Wild Thing
It was truly awesome
That′s my girl, go, baby
