Lyrics

Wild Thing (Single Edit)

Wild thing

You make my heart sing

You make everything groovy

C'mon, wild thing

Wild thing, I think, I love you

But I wanna know for sure

Come on and hold me tight

You move me

Wild thing

You make my heart sing

You make everything groovy

C'mon, c'mon, wild thing

Wild thing, I think, I love you

But I wanna know for sure

So c'mon and hold me tight

You move me

Wild thing

You make my heart sing

You make everything groovy

C'mon, wild thing

C'mon, c'mon, wild thing

Shake it, shake it, wild thing

C'mon, c'mon, wild thing

C'mon, wild thing

C'mon, wild thing

C'mon, wild thing
