[Intro]

When the event happens, there is little time to think of those things that people would like to have remained private

Getting caught up in the circus-like atmosphere, feeling less responsible to conventional ethical practices

Ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]

Never good, just the bad and the ugly laid in front of you

Nothing quite like seeing the world through the TV's window

Feelin' helpless, I look for distraction, I go searchin' for you

Wandering through our city to find some solace at your door

[Pre-Chorus]

I can't stop thinkin' about it, I can't stop thinkin' about it

Tell me, did you see the news tonight?

[Chorus]

Hold me in this wild, wild world

'Cause in your warmth, I forget how cold it can be

And in your heat, I feel how cold it can get

Hold me in this wild, wild world

'Cause in your warmth, I forget how cold it can be

And in your heat, I feel how cold it can get

[Post-Chorus]

Now draw me close

[Verse 2]

So come on, let's forget the emotion, tie the blinkers on

Hold both hands right over my eyes, deafen me with music

Till we're lost in the heat of the moment, and I'm movin' in you

Help me keep these hours alive, help me chase those seconds

[Pre-Chorus]

I just keep talkin' about it, but I'll do nothing about it

Tell me, did you see the news last night?

[Chorus]

Hold me in this wild, wild world

'Cause in your warmth, I forget how cold it can be

And in your heat, I feel how cold you can get

Hold me in this wild, wild world

'Cause in your warmth, I forget how cold it can be

And in your heat, I feel how cold it can get

[Post-Chorus]

Now draw me close

[Bridge]

(Ah-ah, ah) Hold me in this wild, wild world

[Chorus]

Hold me in this wild, wild world

'Cause in your warmth, I forget how cold it can be

And in your heat, I feel how cold it can get

Hold me in this wild, wild world

In your heat, I forget, in your heat, I forget ('Cause in your warmth, I forget how cold it can be)

In your heat, I forget, in your heat, I forget (And in your heat, I feel how cold it can get)

[Post-Chorus]

So hold me close, hold me close
