Runnin' Wild Lyrics - The Jimmie Lunceford Collection: 1930-47 - Jimmie Lunceford

My gal and I, we had a fight 

And I'm all by myself 

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 

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. Runnin' wild 

When I first met that gal of mine 

It seemed just like a dream 

But when she tho't she had me right 

She started actin' mean 

Like mary led her little lamb 

She led me all the time 

Until the worm had to turn 

That's the reason I'm 

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. Runnin' wild 

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 Villain part 

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. Runnin' wild
