[Verse 1] I was born with a little wildfire A little too loud, a little too much Had a heart full of thunder And a soul nobody could touch They said, "Girl, you better calm down" "Better learn to play the part" But I was never made to disappear Or tear apart my own heart [Chorus] I wasn't built to behave I wasn't born to fit your mold You can call me reckless But I won't do what I'm told I'm thunder and gasoline Baby, strike the match and pray Love me or leave me... I wasn't built to behave [Verse 2] I've been called too much I've been called too wild But I learned those words mean nothing When you're living your own style I don't need your approval I know exactly who I am I came through the fire And I still make my stand [Chorus] I wasn't built to behave I wasn't born to fit your mold You can call me reckless But I won't do what I'm told I'm thunder and gasoline Baby, strike the match and pray Love me or leave me... I wasn't built to behave [Bridge — half-time, emotional guitar] I stopped apologizing For taking up my space The ones who feared my fire Were never meant to stay [Final Chorus — full band] I wasn't built to behave I wasn't born to fit your mold You can call me reckless But I won't do what I'm told I'm thunder and gasoline Baby, strike the match and pray Love me or leave me... I wasn't built to behave [Outro — fuzz guitar fades]
