Can't Be Tamed Lyrics

For those who don't know me, I can get a bit crazy
Have to get my way, yep, 24 hours a day
'Cause I'm hot like that
Every guy everywhere just gives me mad attention
Like I'm under inspection
I always gets a ten, 'cause I'm built like that

I go through guys like money flying out the hands
They try to change me but they realize they can't
And every tomorrow is a day I never plan
If you're gonna be my man, understand

I can't be tamed
I can't be tamed
I can't be blamed
I can't, can't
I can't, can't be tamed
I can't be changed
I can't be tamed
I can't be, I can't be
I can't be tamed

If there is a question about my intentions
I'll tell you, I'm not here to sell you
Or tell you to go to hell
I'm not a brat like that
I'm like a puzzle but all of my pieces are jagged
If you can understand this
We can make some magic, I'm wrong like that

I want to fly, I want to drive, I want to go
I want to be a part of something I don't know
And if you try to hold me back, I might explode
Baby, by now you should now

I can't be tamed
I can't be tamed
I can't be blamed
I can't, can't
I can't, can't be tamed
I can't be changed
I can't be tamed
I can't be, I can't be
I can't be tamed

Well I'm not a trick you play
I'm wired a different way
I'm not a mistake, I'm not a fake
It's set in my DNA

Don't change me (my DNA) (x4)
I can't be tamed

I want to fly, I want to drive, I want to go
I want to be a part of something I don't know
And if you try to hold me back, I might explode
Baby, by now you should now

I can't be tamed
I can't be tamed
I can't be blamed
I can't, can't
I can't, can't be tamed
I can't be changed
I can't be tamed
I can't be, I can't be
I can't be tamed

Did she even write this song? I remember reading she wanted her music to be more of Rock and depth. Anyways this song sounds like a big STFU to Disney or something. And we get to hear Miley's first swear word! I expect to see the Britney Spears path for Miley. [Britney] Started off cute and clean, and then sexed up it, and then went 5150. I hope it doesn't happen to Miley, but all the similarites are there.

Oh and this song is definitely going to be a guilty pleasure for me like all of her songs.

okay i definitely think she wrote this song. and i agree about the disney thing. and about the swear word. and i can see her going down that path. but britney did those things b cuz her manager made her. she said it on tgv he went to jail for it. and i dont want this to happen to her either.

Wow...What can I say about this vid...? She's come a long way from "Best Of Both Worlds"(HM)/"Start All Over"(her 1st Miley single) to this...It kinda scares me to think that she might become like Britney or Lindsay, who were both Disney stars gone wrong. I understand her wanting to find herself, but this is pretty ridiculous. In this song, she's basically telling us that she wants to be wild and crazy like Britney/Lindsay. But look at Lindsay, this last week, she was found to be in violation of her parole for her DUI, and she is now sentenced to 30 days in prison. I sure hope Miley gets the hint that she doesn't want that lifestyle, and only bad things can come of it.

My Opinion

Here, Miley is doing what she does best,make cliched declarative-statement songs that have little depth or meaning. These sorts of songs appeal to equally shallow, ignorant people who make such declarative statements in their own lives. This is a self-centered song. I counted 73 instances within this song that she uses the word 'I' or a variant of it.

Everything within this song seems forced. For example, that line, "or tell you to go to Hell," was completely unnecessary. It adds nothing artistically and does not emphasize the point; it's just an avenue for her to "cuss" ("Hell" is a wimpy swear word, I think). She's trying way too hard. Look at the video. Goodness! It's not even art; it's disgusting propaganda for her disgusting face and her almost-decent body. She's trying so hard to "break away" from Disney. I'm going to pull a Miley here and make a cliche: "Living well is the best revenge."

miley just wants to call up attention.. she really needs to search for psychiatric attention seriously or else she'll end up like britney or lindsay

that's so true

I love Miley Cyrus. This song is a stepping stone to her maturity and her talent. She's not a little girl anymore.

Hope that the maturity level doesn't drop off like it did for spears :(

you are my inspiration

This is a pretty good song, I'm not really much of a Miley fan but I sorta respect ger for coming out with something like this. This is her breaking out of her disney shell. I'm a little upset she joined the pop bandwagon and didn't move on to country but this is still a good song.

Her singing career is going down hill. She is turning into s less extreme version of Brittney Spears. Once she took those pictures I didn't like her anymore. She was a good role model, but has lost it, she has in fact grown up.

this song only wants her critics to know that this is who she is and nothing that her critics say will change her.

its more of a song for her detractors...

It's not "I'm wrong like that"

it's "I'm on like that"

Thanks
