I did a really stupid thing
I really messed up big time
Please forgive me
I crash and burn and bleed
And now I am dead
Okay, not really
I know you wanna drag me
To the ground
And tell me how I messed up
And to sit down
And that's not me
But it's just my fault

Don't try to cage me
Or save me
I am a wild thing
I am a creature
And I need your
Love for a wild thing
Well I've got issues
That's for sure
But it's why you kinda like me
I know it boy
You can't put me in a cage
You can't put me in a cage

I am fearless when I see you
I am crazy happy lucky
If you're close by
A basketful of sunshine
'Til I'm uninspired
And then I die
Oh why you wanna pretend
That I'm fine
That everything's okay
One day I'll get it right
Well that's not me
And that's all your fault

Don't try to cage me
Or save me
I am a wild thing
I am a creature
And I need your
Love for a wild thing
Well I've got issues
That's for sure
But it's why you kinda like me
I know it boy
You can't put me in a cage
You can't put me in a cage

Ohh ohh, ohh ohh
Let me out, let me out

Don't try to cage me
Or save me
I am a wild thing
I am a creature
And I need your
Love for a wild thing
Well I've got issues
That's for sure
But it's why you kinda like me
I know it boy
You can't put me in a cage
You can't put me in a cage
