Verse:

My gal and I, we had a fight And I'm all by my self,

I guess she thinks, now that she's gone, I'll lay right on the shelf;

I'm gonna show her she's all wrong, No lonesome stuff for mine,

I won't sit home, all alone, She'll soon find that I'm:

 

Chorus:

Runnin' wild, lost control,

Runnin wild, mighty bold,

Feelin' gay reckless too,

Care free mind all the time, never blue;

Always goin' don't know where,

Always showin', I don't care;

Don't love nobody, it's not worth while;

All alone runnin' wild.

 

Patter:

No gal will ever make a fool of me, No, gal! I mean just what I say;

I ain't the simpleton I used to be, Wonder how I got that way.

Once I was full of sentiment, it's true, But now I got a cruel heart;

With all that other foolishness I'm through, Gonna play the villian part.
