Wild rebel rose, the used to tease you Wild rebel rose, every time they'd see you In black turtlenecks in mid July Wearing too much makeup 'round your eyes
Wild rebel rose, I didn't know you Wild rebel rose, so I told you How I'd watch from the house across street When those blue lights came around At least three times a week
It's hard for anyone to understand Why sixteen you just up and ran They didn't know you only knew daddy's love Like the back of his hand (*)
I heard the shots, saw you hit the I snuck in and grabbed that pistol off the floor Don't you worry they won't find it that's for sure
Wild rebel the kids used to tease you Wild rebel rose, every time they'd see you In those black necks in mid July Wearing too much makeup 'round your eyes
Hmm, oh, wild, wild rebel rose They didn't know, ooh, yeah, hmm
