Wild World
Mama said, "Wild man, won't you listen?
And come take a seat right here in the kitchen
You gotta wild heart, gotta sweet soul
Gonna need 'em both, baby, down the road, but
Right now I need you to listen"
She said, "Ooh, baby, it's a wild world
And I hope you find yourself a good girl
Life is short, some days are long
You're gonna need a rock you can lean on
Ooh, baby, it's a wild world
So stay wild, man"
Don't put your faith in the green of a dollar
And be proud of the blue around your collar
Give a little more, take a little less
You ain't done 'til you done your best
Wear it on your sleeve instead of hidden in your chest, yeah
She said, "Ooh, baby, it's a wild world
And I hope you find yourself a good girl
Life is short, some days are long
You're gonna need a rock you can lean on
Ooh, baby, it's a wild world
So stay wild, man"
Be reckless when you're chasin' love
But when you get it hold it like a dove, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Mama said, "Wild man, won't you listen?
Every second is God given
So forgive yourself, you're just a man
And He's too big for us to understand"
Mama told me all these things in the kitchen
She said, "Ooh, baby, it's a wild world
And I hope you find yourself a good girl
Life is short, some days are long
You're gonna need a rock you can lean on"
She said, "Ooh, baby, it's a wild world
So stay wild, man
Stay wild, man"
