[Verse 1]
He came, she smiled
She thought she had him tamed
But he was just as wild
Eating from her hand at last

[Chorus]
Wild things run fast

[Verse 2]
In the dark he could see
The trap that was lying
In her sweet company
Eating from her hand at last

[Chorus]
Wild things run fast

[Bridge]
Winter beat the pines about
He heard the heater
Cutting in and out
While she dreamed away

[Verse 3]
In the night, it snowed
Fast tracks in the powder white
Leading out to the road
Winding from her tender grasp
[Chorus]
Wild things run fast
Wild things run fast
Wild things run fast

[Outro]
What makes you run?
Wild thing, I thought you loved me
