  • You whipped me, I'm hurting
    Abused me for certain
    And slavery should not exist
    Is this what I get, a poison kiss

    Without you I'm dead meat
    I'm a raggedy dog dying in the street
    Of a God-forsaken shanty town
    Where gangs of children are hunted down

    I go wild when you're in my face
    I go wild when I taste your taste
    I go wild and I go insane
    I get sick, somebody stop this pain

    You left me, I'm brain dead
    I'm feeling nothing, strapped to my bed
    On life support, tubes in my nose
    Tubes in my arms, shot full of holes

    I go wild when you're in my face
    I go wild when I taste your taste
    I go wild act like a goat
    And I get sick, got lumps in my throat

    I go wild
    I go wild
    I go crazy, I go insane
    I get sick, somebody stop this pain

    And the doctors says you'll be okay
    And if you'd only stay away
    From femme fatales and dirty bitches
    And daylight drabs and night time witches
    And working girls and blue stockings
    And dance hall babes and body poppers
    And waitresses with broken noses
    Checkout girls striking poses
    And politicians' garish wives
    With alcoholic cunts like knives

    I go wild
    I go wild
    I go wild
    I go wild

    I go wild when you're in my face
    I go wild in a state of grace
    I go wild when you treat me bad
    I go wild, raving mad

    I go wild for ya
    I go wild for ya
    I go wild
    I go wild, hey
    I go wild
    I go wild Writer/s: Keith Richards, Mick Jagger

  • Craig from Melbourne, AustraliaThis song was recorded at Ronnie Wood's pub in Ireland. Charlie had his drums at the bottom of the stairwell and they were recorded there. Hence the massive sound.
  • Joshua from Twin Cities, MnThe final verse includes the line "alcoholic c*nts like knives," which evidently sounded close enough to "cuts like knives" to get past radio censors.
