[Intro]
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
[Verse 1]
You know I see you watching me
You fear the fact I'm young and free
Not what you want, I'm what you need
I'm coming in hard, I'm coming in one, two, three
[Pre-Chorus]
The spark you saw is now a light
I'm burning up like dynamite
Tonight, it's time you realise
I'm going in hard, I'm going in one, two, three
[Chorus]
I'm coming to get you, my heart is running faster
Oh, baby, I can't lose, my drum is beating harder
And, when I break through
I know the world will wonder why
Baby, I was born a rebel child
[Post-Chorus]
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh (Baby, I was born a rebel child)
[Verse 2]
You know, I see you watching me
I'll pull you with my gravity
Not what you want, I'm what you need
I'm coming in hard, I'm coming in one, two, three, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
The spark you saw is now a light
I'm burning up like dynamite
Tonight it's time you realise
I'm going in hard, I'm going in one, two, three, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm coming to get you, my heart is running faster
Oh, baby, I can't lose, my drum is beating harder
And, when I break through
I know the world will wonder why
Baby, I was born a rebel child
[Post-Chorus]
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh (Baby, I was born a rebel child)
[Outro]
Dancing with the Devil, I want to
(Ah-ah) Born to be a rebel, I won't lose
I'm coming to get you, my heart is running faster
I'm coming to get you (Baby, I was born a rebel child)
Dancing with the Devil, I want to (Oh, woah)
Born to be a rebel, I won't lose (Oh, woah)
I'm coming to get you, my heart is running faster (Ah)
I'm coming to get you (Baby, I was born a rebel child)
Woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh, woo-ooh
Rebel Child was produced by Steve Mac.
Dylan released Rebel Child on Fri Sep 22 2023.
It’s purposefully at the tempo of a good, strong strut. It’s the first song I have released that is not about anything other than myself, not about heartbreak or loss, love or friendship; it is about me, myself and I.
