[Intro — dirty guitar] Don’t mistake my quiet for tame… You’ll learn. Feral. [Verse 1] I walk in late I leave when I please Got a little bad habit of doing what I need I like my whiskey— Nah, make that neat I like my nights with a little more heat You say, “Slow down” I say, “What for?” You knew I was trouble when you opened that door [Pre-Chorus] I don’t bite— Unless you pull too tight I don’t run— Unless you tell me where I belong [Chorus] Feral, baby Feral Don’t mistake my quiet for tame Feral, baby Feral You knew exactly what you came for Little bit wild Little bit hell Love me loose or leave me well Feral, baby Feral Don’t mistake my quiet for tame [Post-Chorus — guitar answers] Tame… Never was. [Verse 2] Bare feet black dress midnight street Got the whole damn night keeping time with me You like the fire then complain about smoke Baby, pick a side— you can’t have both I disappear You count to ten Say you’re done— Then there you are again [Pre-Chorus] I don’t bite— Unless you pull too tight I don’t bend— Just to fit where I’ve never been [Chorus] Feral, baby Feral Don’t mistake my quiet for tame Feral, baby Feral You knew exactly what you came for Little bit wild Little bit hell Love me loose or leave me well Feral, baby Feral Don’t mistake my quiet for tame [Guitar Break] [Bridge — stripped down] You want the spark but not the flame Want the wild without the rain Want me close but want me changed Mm-mm… That ain’t how I came. [Beat Returns] [Final Chorus] Feral, baby Feral Don’t mistake my quiet for tame Feral, baby Feral Say it like you know my name Little bit wild Little bit hell You fell for both and you know damn well Feral, baby Feral Don’t mistake my quiet— for tame. [Outro — guitar feedback] Tame… Never was. Feral.
