The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my handsWild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me awayI watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkindI know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we dieWild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday
