Wild Women Do
Natalie Cole · Other Songs - Natalie Cole
And they don't regret it.
Wooh!
You tell me you want a woman who's
As simple as a flower.
Well if you want me to act like that,
You'd better pay me by the hour.
Don't want to travel in the danger zone
Take another number
Don't want a lover who can hold her own
Baby step aside if you don't want to ride
Because
CHORUS
Wild women do
And they don't regret it
Wild women show
What they're goin' through
Wild women do
What you think they'll never
What you only dream about
Wild women do.
You think that love is a vision of
A princess in a picture
Well let me tell you something, little boy
You wouldn't know love if it hit ya
Scared of someone who is off the wall
Kickin' and a screamin'
Don't you want a lover who can do it all?
Listen to me Jack
I ain't holdin' back
Cos
CHORUS
Come on and wild with me baby.
Everybody come on,
Everybody get wild.
CHORUS (to fade)
Wild Women Do
Natalie Cole's 1978 recording of 'Wild Women Do' stands as a defining moment in her early career, showcasing her signature blend of soulful vocals and smooth R&B production. The track, originally written by the Staple Singers, was reimagined here with Cole's distinctive vocal style and a polished arrangement that highlighted her transition from the Motown era to her own artistic identity. Released during a period when she was establishing herself as a solo powerhouse, the song exemplifies the lush, romantic sound characteristic of late 1970s adult contemporary music. It remains a staple of her discography, often cited as a prime example of her ability to reinterpret classic material while maintaining her unique vocal texture and emotional depth.
