Call of the Wild

When nobody ever asked her
They just assumed that
She would always turn out
Like they wanted her to be

But there was something missing
From that little schoolgirl look
One day she learned a lesson
And threw away the book

And she heard it
The call of the wild
Then she heard it
The call
The call of the wild

She was such a good girl
She heard the call of the wild
Calling her away
Calling her away
Calling her away

They gave silk and laces
But she wasn't tranquilized
And with all the social graces
She was paralyzed

Well, they laughed away the future
With all the best-laid plans
But they would never suit her
And one day she ran

And she heard it
The call of the wild
Then she heard it
The call
The call of the wild

She was such a good girl
She heard the call of the wild
Calling her away
Calling her away
Calling her away

Calling her away

She was such a gentle creature
So delicate and shy
She would only look at you
From the corner of her eye

Then she heard it
The call of the wild
Then she heard it
The call
The call of the wild

She was such a good girl
She heard the call of the wild
Calling her away
Calling her away
Calling her away

And she heard it
The call of the wild
She was such a good girl
She heard the call of the wild

Don't you tame her
Don't blame her
For the call of the wild
Is calling you away

Calling you away
Calling you away
Calling you away
Calling you away
Calling you away
