Theres never been a man to keep her underhand Or to hold her down Cause shes as wild as a raging sea And just as beautiful, too Oh, what was it in her eyes that scared him so? How come he felt so weak but tried to look so strong? He tried to tame, tame a wild one He tried to make a woman do right Till she wanna do wrong Oh, she, she was content She loved to live each day as if another may never come Ah, but he, he did his best to hold her down He built a cage, he built a prison for the thing he loved most He tried to tame, tame a wild one He tried to make a woman do right Till she wanna do wrong He tried to tame, tame a wild one All the beauty we see but you cant make it stay Every spirit has wings, wont you fly away? Fly away, fly away, fly away He woke to an empty house Only the shell, only the echo inside He may never understand just why she left But words cant build whats real Or pull the life from a breath He tried to tame, tame a wild one He tried to make a woman do right Till she wanna do wrong He tried to tame, tame a wild one Ah, love is as free as it gets but it aint ever cheap He tried to tame, tame, tame a wild one He tried to make a woman do right Till she wanna do wrong Tame, tame, tame, tame a wild one Ah, love is as free as it gets but it aint ever cheap
