Wild Girl Songtext
von Rickie Lee Jones

Wild Girl Songtext

Wild girl, you must have been a terror when you were young
Or your mama must have let you run, let you run free
But it wasn′t very nice eating, eating all that sugar and spice
What they want a girl to be

And all the things a child learns on their way from hope to here
Innocence, the fury, the racism, the rage, and fear
I don't remember, tell me again, the part no one wants to hear

Well, that′s so many people's story, a lot of heartache but not much glory
But glory, the truth be told, tomorrow you are 21 years old
I say, "Happy birthday tomorrow to you"
The only game in town

And you can live your life with regret about the things you think you did wrong
Or over what someone would not give
Or you can be grateful when you open your eyes
The story you write, you live


Well, it's hard to be older and poor, I don′t dig it that much anymore
But every day of my life I′m so proud, so proud I became his wife
Because I got to raise Charlotte and Charlotte's learning
The only game in town

A wild girl in a red dress, come on now, speak up, say yes
This thing that makes you beautiful never comes out of a jar, yeah
You are a beautiful girl, you′re reaching out from your beautiful world
That is the daughter you are

Walk right and the real world knows it
'Cause you bring it back down into the real world
Oh, walk right up, the real world knows it
You′ll bring it back down into the real world

Say to take me back, baby
I just wanna make a dream come true
I came here to love somebody
I just wanna make my dreams come true

And I'm trying because trying is the only game
The only game, the only game in town
