[Intro: Jackson 5]
Call of the wild
Call of the wild
Call of the wild

[Verse 1: Jermaine + Michael]
People tell me this
And people that me that
Ooh, everybody thinks they know
Where it's at
And life is getting harder
And it's tearing me down
It's time to pack my bags
I'm gonna leave this town

[Chorus: Jackson 5]
The call of the wild is calling me
The wilderness is beckoning me
The call of the wild is calling me
Where nature moves over the free

[Refrain: Jackson 5]
Call of the wild
Call of the wild
Call of the wild
[Verse 2: Jermaine + Michael]
And people quibbling this
And people quibbling that
Ooh, the ones with the money
Just keep on getting fat
There ain't no solitude
The quiet's getting loud
Any place you want to go
Gotta fight right through the crowd

[Chorus: Jackson 5]
The call of the wild is calling me
The wilderness is beckoning me
The call of the wild is calling me
Where nature moves over the free
The earth and the sky and the sea
The valleys of signs you can see
The call of the wild is calling me
The call of the wild is calling me
The wilderness is beckoning me
The call of the wild is calling me
Where nature moves over the free
The earth and the sky and the sea
The valleys of signs you can see...
