[English]

Rock Mafia

For those who don't know me, I can get a bit crazy

Have to get my way, yep

24 hours a day 'cause I'm hot like that

Every guy everywhere just gives me mad attention

Like I'm under inspection

I always get a ten 'cause I'm built like that

I go through guys like money flying out their hands

They try to change me but they realize they can't

And every tomorrow is a day I never planned

If you're gonna be my man, understand

I can't be tamed, I can't be tamed

I can't be blamed, I can't, can't

I can't, can't be tamed

I can't be changed, I can't be tamed

I can't be, be, I can't be tamed

If there is a question about my intentions, I'll tell ya

I'm not here to sell ya

Or tell you to go to hell (I'm not a brat like that)

I'm like a puzzle but all of my pieces are jagged

If you can understand this

We can make some magic, I'm wrong like that

I wanna fly, I wanna drive, I wanna go

I wanna be a part of something I don't know

And if you try to hold me back, I might explode

Baby, by now you should know

I can't be tamed, I can't be tamed

I can't be blamed, I can't, can't

I can't, can't be tamed

I can't be changed, I can't be tamed

I can't be, be, I can't be tamed

Well, I'm not a trick you play

I'm wired a different way

I'm not a mistake, I'm not a fake

It's set in my DNA

Don't change me, don't change me

Don't change me, don't change me

(I can't be tamed)

I wanna fly, I wanna drive, I wanna go

I wanna be a part of something I don't know

And if you try to hold me back, I might explode

Baby, by now you should know

I can't be tamed, I can't be tamed

I can't be blamed, I can't, can't

I can't, can't be tamed

I can't be changed, I can't be tamed

I can't be, be, I can't be tamed
