When she needs somebody, she's an only child
Look into her bedroom, she's a lonely child
She's highly rated, sophisticated, she looks so at ease
But she's an actress, she's had practice
She's not what she seems

Don't let her take you in
Don't let her take you in
Don't you let her take you in, she's runnin' wild

Outside, nothing to bother her
No ties, no one to follow her
Outside, she's runnin' wild

Runnin' wild, crying out for more
Runnin' wild, never gets it all
Runnin' wild, burnin' up inside
Runnin' wild, can't stop her now

Mother and her curfew held her back from boys
Bottled up her fantasies, she had no choice
Her body's aching, the ties are breaking
She can't wait anymore
Now she needs someone to share her private toys

Outside, nothing to bother her
No ties, no one to follow her
Outside, she's runnin' wild

Runnin' wild, crying out for more
Runnin' wild, never gets it all
Runnin' wild, burnin' up inside
Runnin' wild, can't stop her now but she's got style

(Solo)

When she needs somebody, she's an only child
Look into her bedroom, she's a lonely child
She looks so easy and uncomplicated
Don't let her take you in, she's runnin' wild

Runnin' wild, crying out for more
Runnin' wild, never gets it all
Runnin' wild, burnin' up inside
Runnin' wild, can't stop her now

She's runnin' wild, crying out for more
Runnin' wild, never gets it all
Runnin' wild, burnin' up inside
Runnin' wild, she's runnin' wild
