Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hope I can accept the wild thing in me (Wild thing)
Hope nobody comes to tame her
And she can be free
Sick of second guessing my behaviour and what I want to be
Just let me lie here on the sofa
And put the reruns on TV
[PreChorus]
I'll be fine, I'll be okay
I feel kind of lucky right now and I'm not ashamed to say
I can be happy, I can be sad, I can be a bitch when I am mad
I want to settle down, oh to fall in love, sometimes I just want to fuck
I love my life, I love my life but sometimes I just want to
[Chorus]
Let me lie here on (I could lie here all day long)
Let me lie here on the sofa (The sofa, the sofa)
On the sofa
Sometimes I just want to
[Refrain]
Be no one thing
The intellectual beauty queen
[Verse 2]
Didn't make it out to California
Where I thought I might clean the slate
Feels a little like I'm stuck in Seven Sisters
North London, oh, England
And maybe that's okay
[PreChorus]
Maybe that's fine, I'll be okay
I feel kind of lucky right now and I'm not ashamed to say
I can be happy, I can be sad, I can be a bitch when I am mad
I want to settle down, oh to fall in love, but sometimes I just want to fuck
I love my life, I love my life but sometimes I just want to
[Chorus]
Let me lie here on (I could lie here all day long)
Let me lie here on the sofa (The sofa, the sofa)
On the sofa
Sometimes I just want to
[Refrain]
Be no one thing
The intellectual beauty queen
And a wild thing
[Chorus]
Let me lie here on (I could lie here all day long)
Let me lie here on the sofa (The sofa, the sofa)
On the sofa
[Outro]
Hope I can accept the wild thing in me
Hope nobody comes to tame her
And she can be free
