1
Wild girl, you must have been a terror when you were young
2
Or your mamma must have let you run, let you run free
3
But it wasn't very nice eating, eating all that sugar and spice
4
What they want a girl to be
5
And all the things a child learns on their way from hope to here
6
The innocence, the fury, the racism, the rage and fear
7
I don't remember tell me again the part no one wants to hear
8
Well, that's so many people's story, a lot of heartache but not much glory
9
But glory, the truth be told tomorrow you are twenty one years old
10
I say happy birthday tomorrow to you
11
The only game in town
12
You can live your life with regret about the things you think you did wrong
13
Or over what someone would not give
14
Or you can be grateful when you open your eyes
15
The story you write, you live
16
Well, it's hard to be older and poor, I don't dig it that much anymore
17
But everyday of my life I'm so proud, so proud I became his wife
18
Because I got to raise Charlotte and Charlotte's learning
19
The only game in town
20
Wild girl in a red dress, come on, speak up, say yes
21
This thing that makes you beautiful never comes out of a jar, yeah
22
You are a beautiful girl, you're reaching out from your beautiful world
23
That is the daughter you are
24
Walk right and the real world knows it
25
'Cause you bring it back down into the real world
26
Walk right up the real world knows it
27
You'll bring it back down into the real world
28
Say take me back, baby
29
I just wanna make a dream come true
30
I came here to love somebody
31
I just wanna make my dreams come true
32
And I'm trying because trying is the only game
33
The only game, the only game in town
