Lyrics
Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing
Wild thing, I think I love you
But I wanna know for sure
Come on, hold me tight

You make everything groovy

Wild thing, I think you move me
But I wanna know for sure
So come on and hold me tight
You move me
Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing
Come on, come on, wild thing
Shake it, shake it, wild thing
