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