Wild girl, you must have been a terror when you were young
Or your mamma must have let you run, let you run free
But it wasn't very nice eating, eating all that sugar and spice
What they want a girl to be
And all the things a child learns on their way from hope to here
The innocence, the fury, the racism, the rage and fear
I don't remember tell me again the part no one wants to hear
Well, that's so many people's story, a lot of heartache but not much glory
But glory, the truth be told tomorrow you are twenty one years old
I say happy birthday tomorrow to you
The only game in town
You can live your life with regret about the things you think you did wrong
Or over what someone would not give
Or you can be grateful when you open your eyes
The story you write, you live
Well, it's hard to be older and poor, I don't dig it that much anymore
But everyday of my life I'm so proud, so proud I became his wife
Because I got to raise Charlotte and Charlotte's learning
The only game in town
Wild girl in a red dress, come on, speak up, say yes
This thing that makes you beautiful never comes out of a jar, yeah
You are a beautiful girl, you're reaching out from your beautiful world
That is the daughter you are
Walk right and the real world knows it
'Cause you bring it back down into the real world
Walk right up the real world knows it
You'll bring it back down into the real world
Say take me back, baby
I just wanna make a dream come true
I came here to love somebody
I just wanna make my dreams come true
And I'm trying because trying is the only game
The only game, the only game in town
