Lyrics

//: SHE'S A CHILD RUNNING WILD A LADY OUT OF PLACE

SHE'S MORE THAN A SMILE MORE THAN A PRETTY FACE://

SHE'S FADED OL' BLUE JEANS THE WOMAN IN YOUR DREAMS

SHE'LL GO VERY FAR SHE'S LIKE A NEW BORN STAR

SHE'S A FRIEND YOU CAN CALL UPON

WORDS IN A LOVELY SONG

WIND ON A WAVE ON THE NIGHT YOU MISBEHAVE
//: SHE'S A CHILD RUNNING WILD A LADY OUT OF PLACE

SHE'S MORE THAN A SMILE MORE THAN A PRETTY FACE://

SHE CAN WHISPER IN YOUR EARS
ALL THE WORDS YOU LONG TO HEAR
SHE WON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND IF YOU LET GO OF HER HAND
CAUSE
//: SHE'S A CHILD RUNNING WILD A LADY OUT OF PLACE

SHE'S MORE THAN A SMILE MORE THAN A PRETTY FACE://
[mod key up to A]

SHE WON'T CALL YOU BACK AGAIN FOR SHE WILL DEFEND
ALL HER FREEDOM'S TO BE RIGHT THROUGH EVERY LONELY NIGHT

SHE'S A CHILD RUNNING WILD A LADY OUT OF PLACE
SHE'S MORE THAN A SMILE MORE THAN A PRETTY FACE

SHE'S FADED OL' BLUE JEANS THE WOMAN IN YOUR DREAMS
SHE'LL GO VERY FAR SHE'S LIKE A NEW BORN STAR

SHE'LL GO VERY FAR SHE'S LIKE A NEW BORN STAR.
