Mama said wild man, won't you listen

And come take a seat right here in the kitchen

You gotta wild heart, gotta sweet soul

Gonna need 'em both baby, down the road but

Right now I need you to listen.

She said ooh, baby, it's a wild world

And I hope you find yourself a good girl

Life is short, some days are long

You're gonna need a rock you can lean on

Ooh, baby, it's a wild world

So stay wild, man.

Don't put your faith in the green of a dollar

And be proud of the blue around your collar

Give a little more, take a little less

You ain't done till you done your best

Wear it on your sleeve instead of hidden in your chest, yeah...

She said ooh, baby, it's a wild world

And I hope you find yourself a good girl

Life is short, some days are long

You're gonna need a rock you can lean on

Ooh, baby, it's a wild world

So stay wild, man.

Be reckless when you're chasin' love

But when you get it hold it like a dove, yeah...

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...

Mama said, wild man, won't you listen

Every second is god given

So forgive yourself, you're just a man

And he's too big for us to understand

Mama told me all these things in the kitchen.

She said, ooh, baby, it's a wild world

And I hope you find yourself a good girl

Life is short, some days are long

You're gonna need a rock you can lean on

She said, ooh, baby, it's a wild world

So stay wild, man

Stay wild, man.
