I hear these women raving ’bout their monkey men

About their fighting husbands and their no good friends

These poor women sit around all day and moan

Wondering why their wandering papas don’t come home

But wild women don’t worry, wild women don’t have the blues.

Now when you’ve got a man, don’t ever be on the square

‘Cause if you do he’ll have a woman everywhere

I never was known to treat no one man right

I keep ’em working hard both day and night

because wild women don’t worry, wild women don’t have no blues.
I’ve got a disposition and a way of my own

When my man starts kicking I let him find another home

I get full of good liquor, walk the streets all night

Go home and put my man out if he don’t act right

Wild women don’t worry, wild women don’t have no blues

You never get nothing by being an angel child

You better change your ways and get real wild

I wanna tell you something, I wouldn’t tell you no lie

Wild women are the only kind that ever get by

Wild women don’t worry, wild women don’t have no blues.
