Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, I'm just outta school, like I'm real, real cool
Gotta dance like a fool, got the message that I gotta be a wild one
Ooh, yeah, I'm a wild one
Gonna break it loose, gonna keep 'em movin' wild
Gonna keep a-swingin', baby, I'm a real wild child
Gonna meet all my friends, gonna have our self a ball
Gonna tell my friends, gonna tell them all that I'm a wild one
Ooh, yeah, I'm a wild one
Gonna break it loose, gonna keep 'em movin' wild
Gonna keep a-swingin' baby, I'm a real wild child
I'm a real wild one and I like a wild fun
In a world gone crazy, everything seems hazy, I'm a wild one
Ooh, yeah, I'm a wild one
Gonna break it loose, gonna keep 'em movin' wild
Gonna keep a-swingin', baby, I'm a real wild child
I'm a wild one

Ooh, baby, I'm a wild one
Gonna break it loose, gonna keep 'em movin' wild
Gonna keep a-swingin', baby, I'm a real wild child
