“Wild Thing” was re-recorded in 1992 for Exile in Guyville, but was cut from the track list. For the 2008 15th anniversary reissue, it was listed on advance copies, but was removed from the official release for unknown reasons.
[Chorus]
Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it, wild thing
[Verse 1]
There's hardly a man left around that you haven't sought out
There's hardly a dress shop in town that you haven't bought out
In case you're wondering why the hair salon wouldn't take you
There's hardly a woman left in any state that doesn't hate you
[Chorus]
Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it, wild thing
It's truly awesome
[Verse 2]
When she was younger she thought her mother had missed her calling
And she, in turn, thought that her daughter's conduct was appalling
After each date she had the boys, went home and dreamed of spiders
She never fell for any man who wasn't rich as Midas
[Chorus]
Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it, wild thing
Wild thing
You made your heart sing
You bought everything you wanted
Spend it, spend it, wild thing
That's my girl, go baby
Wild Thing was written by Chip Taylor & Liz Phair.
