Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a little bit of ooh in my heart for you
Oh baby it's true, yeah
You say you like it when I rock you 'til the break of day
You got me thinkin' that I can't stay away from you
Oh baby it's true, yeah
You got a tickle for a twist and a shakin
I got a record in the back of my room for you
You say I like it when you rock me 'til the break of day
You got me thinkin' that I can't stay away from you
Oh baby it's true, yeah
Oh baby I'm love-struck thinkin' of you
I taste it in the wild that you love me too
Oh darlin' how you play with my desire
Calling baby: you know how to start a fire in me
The Naked and Famous's "Wild" is a love song about a relationship that sparkles with passion and wildness. The song begins with the lines "You got a little taste of wild in your lovin, and I got a little bit of ooh in my heart for you. Oh baby, it's true." Here, the singer is acknowledging the wildness in their partner's love and how it ignites a desire within them. The chorus further emphasizes how the relationship is fueled by passion and how they cannot stay away from each other. The lyrics "You say you like it when I rock you 'til the break of day, you got me thinking that I can't stay away from you" show this passionate longing.
The second verse again highlights the wildness in the relationship, specifically within their love-making. The singer and their partner both enjoy and crave the excitement and pleasure that come with being together. The chorus repeats, with the singer affirming that they are "love-struck thinking of you" and tasting the wildness their partner gives back to them. The last line, "calling baby: you know how to start a fire in me," shows how their desire for each other is powerful and consuming.
