All my life I’ve wanted to be somebody and here I am

I know what I’ve got and there ain’t nobody 

Gonna take it away from me

So let me tell ya what I am

I’m a red hot fox, I can take the knocks

I’m a hammer from hell, honey, can’t you tell?

I’m the wild one, yes, I’m the wild one

I’m a touched up freak on a winning streak

I’m gonna own this town, you can’t hold me down

I’m the wild one, yes, I’m the wild one

Well, it ain’t no use, turn me lose

More, more I can’t keep score

I’ve got my head screwed on and the days are gone

When you kept me down and you pushed me ‘round

I’m the wild one, yes, I’m the wild one

I’m a brown eyed bitch and I wanna get rich

Get out of my way ‘cause I’m here to stay

I’m the wild one, yes, I’m the wild one
