  • Hope I can accept the wild thing (wild thing) in me
    Hope nobody comes to tame her
    And she can be free
    Sick of second-guessing my behavior
    And what I want to be
    Just let me lie here on the sofa
    And put the reruns on TV

    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 get mad
    I wanna settle down, oh, to fall in love
    But, sometimes, I just want to fuck
    I love my life, I love my life
    Sometimes, I just want to

    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

    (Ah, ah) be no one thing
    (Ah, ah) the intellectual beauty queen

    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

    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 get mad
    I wanna settle down, oh, to fall in love
    But, sometimes, I just want to fuck
    I love my life, I love my life
    Sometimes, I just want to

    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

    (Ah, ah) be no one thing
    (Ah, ah) the intellectual beauty queen
    And the wild thing

    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

    Hope I can accept the wild thing in me
    Hope nobody comes to tame her
    And she can be free Writer/s: Ellen Ciara Rowsell, Greg Kurstin, Joel Donald Scott Amey, Jonathan Oddie, Theodore Joseph Ellis
