Can't Be Tammed
Miley Cyrus Lyrics

Rock mafia
The music industry professionals that helped create this song

For those who don't know me
Introducing herself to those who may not be familiar with her

I can get a bit crazy
Acknowledging her behavior can be erratic at times

Have to get my way yep
Admitting she is often insistent on getting what she wants

Twenty four hours a day
Indicating that her demanding nature is constant

'Cause I'm hot like that
She believes that her attractiveness grants her certain privileges

Every guy, everywhere just gives me mad attention
Acknowledging that she is objectified by men wherever she goes

Like I'm under inspection
Feeling like she is being scrutinized and judged for her appearance

I always get a ten 'cause I'm built like that
Feeling confident in her appearance and believing she always gets the highest scores

I go through guys like money flying out the hands
Implying that she dates a lot of people and quickly moves on from them

They try to change me but they realize they can't
Explaining that people try to alter her behavior, but it is ultimately futile

And every tomorrow is a day I never plan
Living in the moment and not worrying about the future

If you're gonna be my man understand
Telling prospective partners that they need to accept her for who she is

I can't be tamed
Reinforcing the idea that she cannot be controlled or constrained by anyone else

I can't be blamed
Asserting that any consequences of her choices are solely her responsibility

I can't can't, I can't can't be tamed
Emphasizing that her untamable nature cannot be changed

If there is a question about my intentions
Acknowledging that people may have doubts about her motives

I'll tell ya I'm not here to sell ya
Asserting that she is not trying to convince anyone of anything

Or tell you to go to hell
Making it clear that she does not wish ill on anyone

I'm not a brat like that
Refuting the idea that she is entitled or spoiled

I'm like a puzzle but all of my pieces are jagged
Describing herself as complex and difficult to understand

If you can understand this
Inviting others to try to understand her unique nature

We can make some magic I'm on like that
Believing that her differences can lead to creative collaboration and positive results

Well I'm not a trick you play
Explaining that she is not easily fooled or manipulated

I'm wired the different way
Recognizing that she thinks and acts differently than most people

I'm not a mistake I'm not a fake
Affirming that she is genuine and true to herself

It's set in my DNA
Emphasizing that her personality is an inherent part of who she is

Don't change me
Asserting that she does not want to be altered or modified by anyone else

I can't be changed
Reiterating that she cannot be transformed into someone she is not

I can't be, can't, I can't be tamed
Once again emphasizing that she is untamable and cannot be constrained by others

I wanna fly I wanna drive I wanna go
Expressing a desire for adventure and new experiences

I wanna be a part of something I don't know
Wanting to explore unfamiliar situations and broaden her horizons

And if you try to hold me back I might explode
Warning that attempting to control her could result in negative consequences

Baby, by now you should know
Implying that others should understand her nature by now

I can't be tamed
Once again, emphasizing that she cannot be confined or controlled by others

I can't be blamed
Asserting that she is not responsible for others' reactions to her behavior

I can't be changed
Reiterating that she cannot be transformed into someone she is not

I can't be, can't, I can't be tamed
Finalizing the idea that she is untamable, once and for all
