Wild Man Lyrics

Call me a wild man
Well, I've seen the world
I've had it all in my hands
I had some love but I lost my way
I threw it in for the band

Oh, oh
Call me a wild man and I'll never know
Oh, oh
Call me a wild man and I'll never know

Call me a rover 'cause I've seen some sights
I've had the things that make men smile
But through these years as I reached the end
Oh, I need a friend

Oh
This ain't like I thought it would be no
I'm just a sailor on the deepest dark sea
Ah, looks like life's got the best of me
I'm just a young man but at least I've tried

Call me a wild man
Yeah, I've seen the world
I've had it all in my hands
I had some love but I lost my way
I threw it in for the band
Oh, oh
Call me a wild man and I'll never know
Oh, oh
Call me a wild man and I'll never know

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
