Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I can't stay without you
Just never without you
I lose my control
Forever around you
Wherever I see you
You catched my fantasy
Like a magic emotion
Eternal devotion
This lovin' affair
I can't keep the secret
Because of my feeling
I'm gonna break it down
[Pre-Chorus]
Because I will be so sad
Away from you, wild man
Boy don't be so bad
And stay with me tonight
Oh baby don't go
[Chorus]
Wild man, here comes the rain
But I will be on your side
And sharing this devotion
Wild man inside my veins
Forever be on your side
You're keeping my emotion
Wild man, wild man, wild man
[Verse 2]
I can't stay without you
A moment without you
Forever again
You are my desire
A magical fire
It catched my fantasy
Like a magic emotion
Eternal devotion
This lovin' affair
I can't keep the secret
Because of my feeling
I'm gonna break it down

Trivia[]
- The song is one of the few unusual cases of an alias mismatch, when a male alias is sung by a female vocalist instead of a male one. The same case also happened five years ago when "Body To Body" by Machismo was sung by Andrea Delfino instead of Mauro Farina, but for That's Eurobeat Vol. 38, the alias was changed to Air Robix, a more gender-neutral alias. As for "Wild Man", however, it's unknown why Asia Records were unable to (or decided not to) change to a more fitting alias.
- Had the song been sung by Gianni Coraini (the singer of the alias's previous song "Let Your Body Rock"), it would've been defined as a song with a homosexual theme.
- It is Isabella Branca's last Eurobeat song before departing from the genre indefinitely.
