Wild is love!
Wild is love!
Wild-wild-wild
Is love!

As a rule, man's a fool
When it's hot, he wants it cool
When it's cool, he wants it hot
Always wanting
What is not

Wild is love
Whenever two hearts meet
Wild is love
Bitter, but oh so sweet

And I know
I must go
Wherever love takes me
Whatever love makes me
I will be!

Like a fire
Burning beyond control
Wild is love
Deep in my heart and soul

And though wild as the wind
And wild as the rolling sea
Nothing could ever be
As wild as love

And I know
I must go
Wherever love takes me
Whatever love makes me
I will be!

And though wild is the wind
And wild is the rolling sea
Nothing could ever be
As wild as love...
As wild as love...
As wild as love...
As wild is love!

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
