Wild Thang from Pure Fiction by Spank WIlliams

Well, you can't tame a wild thang
Without breaking a part of it
And you can tell and tell and tell and tell me
But that ain't never gonna make me quit.
You won't get me in a cage unless you got
Leather and strobe lights
And you can have all of my days,
Baby, no one gets all of my nights.

All of my belongings are in
Some bars lost and found
And almost completely quiet
Is my very most hated sound.
I may be on the loose,
But I sure know my way around.
I got a bed with nice soft pillows
I just sleep better on the ground.

No booze and conversation
Are my butter and my bread
Cuz if I ain't talkin' to someone
I'm talkin' to a someone in my head
And I've never seen a town that wouldn't look
Better painted red
Yeah, I make my plans at midnight while you're
Sleepin' in your nice warm bed.

Cuz you can't tame a wild thang
Without breaking a part of it
And you can tell and tell and tell and tell me
But that ain't never gonna make me quit.
You won't get me in a cage unless you got
Leather and strobe lights
And you can have all of my days,
Baby, no one gets all of my nights.

I prolly belong in Lima,
Tokyo or Bangkok.
A 24 hour city like me
Where someone's always ready to rock.
Cuz by my estimation I'm only
Part way around this block
And I ain't gining up my roaming even for your
Sizeable, reliable rock (cock).

All of my belongings are in
Some bars lost and found
And almost completely quiet
Is my very most hated sound.
I may be on the loose,
But I sure know my way around.
I got a bed with nice soft pillows
I just sleep better on the ground.

Now I know you want to hold me tight,
But I tell you I just can't breathe
And since you kinda suffocate me,
Out in the cold I'd rather freeze.
Thought your offer is quite alluring,
You always say thank you and please,
Man, I really don't need a disciple,
So won't you get the hell off or your knees.

Cuz ever since you saw me
I seen you draftin' that pre-nup.
And when I see that look in your eye
I just want to scream, "Why don't you shut the hell (fuck) up!"
Cuz I'm busy for the next few months,
In fact I got a pretty full cup.
'Stead of startin' with tying me down
You shoulda just started by tyin' me up.

Cuz you can't tame a wild thang
Without breaking the heart of it.
And you can tell and tell and tell and tell me
But that ain't never gonna make me quit.
You won't get me in a cage unless you got
Leather and strobe lights
And you can have all of my Sundays,
Baby, no one gets Saturday nights!

All of my belongings are in
Some bar's (Name of bar I'm in) lost and found
And almost completely quiet
Is my very most hated sound.
I may be on the loose,
But I sure know my way around.
I got a bed with nice soft pillows
I just sleep better on the ground.
