Wild Child ~ Sharon Bautista ©

V1
I like the ones who ride the wild horses,
drink like the fishes, smother me with kisses.
The ones who live by the seat of their pants,
I try to catch them, get them to dance.

Chorus
Now I've been a magnet for troubled men,
'cause I was holding up lots of mirrors back then.
But who could blame them for finding me?
I was just a wild child lost at sea.

V2
I like the ones who swing from the rafters,
tell me white lies and fill me with laughter.
The ones who make me cry on the floor,
tell me they're sorry and come back for more.

Chorus
Now I've been a magnet for troubled men,
'cause I was holding back lots of demons back then.
And who could blame them for finding me.
I was just a wild child ...

Bridge
There's a girl, on a raft ... close to drowning in her past.
She holds on to a love that just won't last.
She looks up and wishes by, the pale moon in the sky,
Hoping that the one she loves will come swimming by.

V3
I like the ones with eyes that see through me,
burn with a fire that knows how to move me.
The ones who keep me up all night.
Guys who don't walk away when we fight.

Chorus
Now I've been a magnet for troubled men,
'cause I was holding up lots of mirrors back then.
And who could blame then for finding me?
I was just a wild child ...

repeat
Now I've been a magnet for troubled men,
'cause I was holding up lots of mirrors back then.
And who could blame them for finding me?
I was just a wild child
I was just a wild child
I was just a wild child
I am *still a wild child
