In a number reminiscent of “I Cain’t Say No” from Oklahoma! or “Joey, Joey, Joey” from The Most Happy Fella, Danny Bailey (Aaron Tveit) proclaims his commitment to being single.
The song is lyrically and musically inspired by “I’m a Bad, Bad Man” from Annie Get Your Gun. The “I’m not in love trope”...
[DANNY BAILEY]
When a squirrel wants another squirrel
He don't bother to get attached
And a robin don't think about the future
When he's got an itch to be scratched
I'm like an animal in the wild
So here's a truth to which you must be reconciled
You can't tame me
This buck was meant to be free
A cowgirl on the range in El Paso
Smiled at me and got out her lasso
And that's when I put on the gas, so
You can't tame me
You can't tame me
I'm like the wind on the sea
A music teacher namеd Annabella
Tried her bеst to make me her fella
But I choose to live a cappella
You can't tame me
It's true
But if anyone could, it'd be someone like you
(Dance break)
And somehow I can see
Exactly how it'd be
In a cozy little cottage with a white picket fence
And a tractor that always needs fixin'
And beamin' with pride
As the prettiest bride
This side of the Mason-Dixon
We'd have a kid or two or three
Two girls for you and two boys for me
And the two of us would share one heart
Until someday we'd die one day apart
But that'll never be
'Cause you can't tame me!
