Little Wild One (No. 5)

Marshall Crenshaw


Waiting on the runway, rain falling down 
I always crawl by, can't get above the ground, 
I looked out at the window at the black clouds in the sky 
So lonesome I could die 
Well, we were on the lookout for adventure and fun 
Then we told each other it was over and done 
But here I go doing something I can't explain 
I'm running to see her again 
I want to talk to my little wild one 
and I want to rock with my little wild one 
All my life is a hollow display 
When I'm away from my little wild one 
She moves, she's a little wild one 
Right down to her shoes, she's a little wild one 
And I've been living in my own little hell 
Since I fell for my little wild one 
Waiting on the runway, in the new morning sun 
I shouldn't have told her we both ought to move on 
I shouldn't have told her because you know it does not pay 
to let a good thing slip away 
Aw, should I dial the number, or turn and walk away? 
Makes no difference, I'm a fool any old way 
But I know in my heart everything will be right 
When I hold her tonight 
I wanna carry on with my little wild one 
Make love till dawn with my little wild one 
She's mine 'till the last day runs down 
And I'm a clown for my little wild one 
She moves, she's a little wild one 
Right down to her shoes, she's a little wild one 
I'd swim an ocean and crawl though hell 
To do well by my little wild one 
Hey now little wild one, say why don't you 
take anything you, anything you want from me 
Hey now baby, don't you know I've been missing you 
Yes we were on the lookout for adventure and fun 
I shouldn't have told her it was over and done 
But I know in my heart everything will be right 
When I hold her tonight 
Well, I'm gonna talk to my little wild one 
And I'm gonna rock with my little wild one 
All my life is a hollow display 
When I'm away from my little wild one 
I wanna carry on with my little wild one 
Make love 'till dawn with my little wild one 
And I've been living in my own little hell 
Since I fell for my little wild one
