You can wrap your arms around him all you like
Say I love you, but it won't do no good
'Cause in the end it don't matter what you try
He's goin' to do what he wants to do
You can curse his ways
Try and make him change
But the fact is babe, no matter what you say
He's a wild one
And girl you can't forget
That there ain't a woman's love that could change him yet
Baby, he's a free bird,
Flying all night long
One moment he's with you,
And the next he's gone
You can try and try, but when it's said and done
You can't tame a wild one
You might hold his hand,
But you don't hold his heart.
So, just love him while you can.
A life together is what you wanted from the start,
But he ain't good at makin' plans.
You can curse his ways
Try and make him change
But the truth is babe, no matter what you say
He's a wild one
And girl you can't forget
That there ain't a woman's love that could change him yet
Baby, he's a free bird, flying all night long.
One moment he's with you, and the next he's gone.
You can try and try, but when it's said and done,
You can't tame a wild one.
There's some things in life better left alone
Just be thankful everyday that he makes it home
'Cause he's a wild one
Girl, you can't forget
That there ain't a woman's love that could change him yet
Baby, he's a free bird, flying all night long.
One moment he's with you, and the next he's gone.
You can try and try, but when it's said and done.
Oh, you can cry and cry, but when it's said and done,
You can't tame a wild one.
You can't tame a wild one
Oh, no
