Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
[Verse 2]
There’s an island in a bay (Loco de amor)
She’s got most peculiar ways (Crazy for love)
Otocumé yandé
Otocumé yandé
[Verse 3]
All the people on the street (Loco de amor)
Everybody that I meet (Crazy for love)
Otocumé yandé
Otocumé yandé
[Verse 4]
Shaky house and shaky home (Loco de amor)
So whatever turns you on (Crazy for love)
[Verse 5]
My wild thing (????)
My wild thing (Yen, yen, yen yeré cumbé)
My little wild thing (Yen yeré, yen yeré, yen yeré)
Hey now, wild thing (Yen yeré cumbé, cumbé, cumbé)
[Verse 6]
Like a pizza in the rain (Loco de amor)
No one wants to take you home
(Crazy for love) But I love you just the same
[Verse 7]
My wild thing, hey
Hey, my wild thing
My little wild thing
Huh, yeah, my wild thing
Hey, eh, ah
[Verse 8]
(Yen yeré cumbé) (Yen yeré, yen yeré)
(Yen yeré cumbé) (Yen yeré cumbé, cumbé)
(Yen yeré cumbé) (Loco de amor, loco de amor)
(Yen yeré cumbé) (Yen yeré, yen yeré, yen yeré, yen yeré)
(Yen yeré cumbé) Oh, hey, baby, my little wild thing
(Yen yeré cumbé) Hey, my
(Yen yeré cumbé) Wild thing, hey
(Yen yeré cumbé) My (Yen yeré, yen yeré, yen yeré)
(Yen yeré cumbé) Wild thing (Cumbé, cumbé, cumbé, cumbé, cumbé)
(Yen yeré cumbé) Wild thing
(Yen yeré cumbé) Wild thing, my little
(Yen yeré cumbé) Wild thing (Yen yeré, yen yeré, yen yeré, yen yeré, yen yeré)
(Yen yeré cumbé) Oh
(Yen yeré cumbé) My little
(Yen yeré cumbé) Wild thing
(Yen yeré cumbé) Wild thing
(Yen yeré cumbé) Wild thing (Loco de amor, loco de amor, loco de amor)
(Yen yeré cumbé) Wild thing (Loco de amor corte)
