Can't Be Tamed

Miley Cyrus · Can't Be Tamed [2010]

[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 the 10s

'Cause I'm built like that



I go through guys like money flyin' out their hands

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

And every tomorrow is a day I never planned (Oooh)

If you're gonna be my man, understand



[Chorus]

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, can't 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 ya 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 (Ooooh ooh)

And if you try to hold me back I might explode (Ooh)

Baby by now you should know



[Chorus]

I can't be tamed

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



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 (Ooooh ooh)

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 (Ooooh ooh)

And if you try to hold me back I might explode (Ooh)

Baby by now you should know



[Chorus]

I can't be tamed

I can't be tamed

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

I can't, can't be tamed

I can't be changed

I can't be tamed

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