Abbey Lincoln - Runnin' Wild lyrics

My gal and I, we had a fight And I'm all by myself I guess she thinks now that she's gone I'll lay right on the shelf I'm gonna show her she's all wrong No lonesome stuff for mine I won't sit home, all alone She'll soon find that I'm Runnin' wild, lost control Runnin' wild, mighty bold Feelin' gay, reckless too Care free mind all the time, never blue Always goin' don't know where Always showin', I don't care Don't love nobody, it's not worth while All alone, runnin' wild. Runnin' wild When I first met that gal of mine It seemed just like a dream But when she tho't she had me right She started actin' mean Like mary led her little lamb She led me all the time Until the worm had to turn That's the reason I'm Runnin' wild, lost control Runnin' wild, mighty bold Feelin' gay, reckless too Care free mind all the time, never blue Always goin' don't know where Always showin', I don't care Don't love nobody, it's not worth while All alone, runnin' wild. Runnin' wild No gal will ever make a fool of me No gal! I mean just what I say I ain't the simpleton I used to be Wonder how I got that way Once I was full of sentiment, it's true But now I got a cruel heart With all that other foolishness I'm through Gonna play the Villain part Runnin' wild, lost control Runnin' wild, mighty bold Feelin' gay, reckless too Care free mind all the time, never blue Always goin' don't know where Always showin', I don't care Don't love nobody, it's not worth while All alone, runnin' wild. Runnin' wild
