I saw something wild Its innocence and freedom Knew no rules or boundaries It did what ever it wanted to do I loved to watch it run It mostly kept its distance But whenever it came near me I felt wild too And when it wasn't around All I felt was tame and bound
CHORUS: You were so beautiful From where I stood So I chased you down and held you As close as I could That's when the fire turned cold Maybe you're not supposed to hold Something wild
Oh but how could I resist I am only human How could I not want you When you looked at me that way The fire in your eyes I hoped was burning for me I couldn't take all that temptation For another day
CHORUS
I saw something wild and free Why couldn't I just let it be
But you were so beautiful From where I stood You were so beautiful From where I stood So I chased you down and held you As close as I could That's when the fire turned cold I almost made ice out of gold Maybe you're not supposed to hold Something wild
