Lyrics

Wilful Days

Here...Go

Go!

Move

Ahh please

Any way from A to B

Savage ways for you and me

And I can see your hang-up now

Wilful days have stubbed you out

Touch that body...start to touch

And all meant to just forget

Guilty feelings all gone now

Wilful days come anyhow

Come on...Go

Wilful Days

Yeah yeah...Wilful Days

Yeah yeah...Wilful Days

Yeah yeah...Wilful...Days...

Let's go

Go go go go...

Wilful Days

Yeah yeah...Wilful...Days...

Anyway from A to B

Savage ways for you and me

I see your hang-up start to see

Wilful days for you and me

Touch that body...start to sweat

And all meant to just forget

And all meant to touch her now

Wilful days come anyhow...ha ha ha

Here comes that savage day

We're gonna make it anyway

Wilful days are hard to find

Wilful days make up your mind

Touch that body...start to sweat

Guilty feelings all forget

Any way from A to B

Wilful, wilful, wilful me

Wilful Days

Yeah yeah...Wilful Days

Yeah yeah...Wilful Days

Yeah yeah...Wilful...Days...
