  • Hmm, yeah, yeah
    Got me wide, wide open, got a .45 on him
    And he pushin' 'bout a hundred and two
    Always smokin' somethin', he ain't worried 'bout nothin'
    'Cause he ain't got nothin' to lose

    I got a thing for the hard liquor on ice
    Short days and long nights
    Marlboros out the window
    Middle finger to the sky
    Say you wanna get dangerous
    Now you're speakin' my language
    I forgot what your name is
    So, I'ma call you mine
    I'ma call you mine

    Got me wide, wide open, got a .45 on him
    And he pushin' 'bout a hundred and two
    Always smokin' somethin', he ain't worried 'bout nothin'
    'Cause he ain't got nothin' to lose

    I got a thing for the wild ones (wild, wild, wild)
    I got a thing for the wild ones, it's like he knew
    I got a thing for the wild ones (wild, wild, wild)
    I got a thing for the wild ones, they like me too

    Yeah, I'm attracted to things that are really crazy
    Asking me how I've been feeling lately
    Coming for mine, then it's do or die
    I won't let it slide, no stealing bases
    No back-and-forth bargaining (now)
    No bitchin' and arguing
    A whole lotta problems, living in Gotham
    And Bunnie's my Harley Quinn (my Harley Quinn)

    Was raised in the darkness, forgive me, I'm guarded (guarded)
    I have no shame, I'm in love with the heartless
    The police will never take us alive
    And cowgirls don't cry

    Got me wide, wide open, got a .45 on him
    And he pushin' 'bout a hundred and two
    Always smokin' somethin', he ain't worried 'bout nothin'
    'Cause he ain't got nothin' to lose

    I got a thing for the wild ones (wild, wild, wild)
    I got a thing for the wild ones, it's like he knew
    I got a thing for the wild ones (wild, wild, wild)
    I got a thing for the wild ones, they like me too

    You don't want L-O-V-E
    I'm like damn, that's fine with me
    I'ma ride all night 'til the sun come up
    I'ma leave that tank on E
    It don't matter where I go
    I'ma end up on that road
    I'ma do my thing, yeah, wild and free
    It's the only life I know

    I like the way that it feels when I lose control
    I like the way that it feels when I can't let go

    Got me wide, wide open, got a .45 on him
    And he pushin' 'bout a hundred and two
    Always smokin' somethin', he ain't worried 'bout nothin'
    'Cause he ain't got nothin' to lose

    I got a thing for the wild ones (wild, wild, wild)
    I got a thing for the wild ones, it's like he knew
    I got a thing for the wild ones (wild, wild, wild)
    I got a thing for the wild ones, they like me too

    Yeah (wild, wild, wild)
    Oh, a thing for the wild ones (it's like he knew)
    I got a thing for the wild ones (wild, wild, wild)
    Got a thing for the wild ones (they like me too, mm) Writer/s: Feli Ferraro, Gregory Hein, Jason Deford, Jeffrey Gitelman, Jessie Murph
