You were born to privilege
Licking on a silver spoon
Think you gotta buy all your friends
Just so you can tear up the room
Your kind is a dime a dozen
I’ve seen it all before
A parasite in a good disguise
Just another wolf at the door
The wolf
Prowling in the nighttime
The wolf
Howling in the moonshine
The wolf
Gives you what you want but he ain’t no friend of mine
You lay it on oh, so sweet
Just like that bad cologne
Just smiling tooth and nail
You gotta make your presence known
But you are only a lonely hunter
Some things you can’t disguise
Just to look in the hallway mirror
Now it’s howling in your eyes
The wolf
Prowling in the nighttime
The wolf
Howling in the moonshine
The wolf
Gives you what you want but he ain’t no friend of mine
Silent, slick and stalthy
Slinking through your evils nights
You can see in the dark they tell me The daylight burns your eyes
I know you’re trying to track me down now
You’re right on my trail
Your think you’re going for the big big game
But you’re chasing your own tail
The wolf
Prowling in the nighttime
The wolf
Howling in the moonshine
The wolf
Gives you what you want but he ain’t no friend of mine
"The Wolf"
Recorded in March 1985, for the 'Heart' album released on July 6, 1985.
This song was written by the band, and is the most 'edgy' song from this album.
An 'underrated' Hard Rock song from this album.
Producer; Ron Nevison should get a lot of credit here, as he saved Heart's ass,
as they had 'spiraled-down' fast 1984.
Capitol records also took a chance on Heart.
Ann {Age; 35} and Nancy {Age; 31} were no longer 'Sexy Rock Kittens'. Many considered them to be holding on by a thread.
You were born to privilege
Licking on a silver spoon
Think you gotta buy all your friends
Just so you can tear up the room
Your kind is a dime a dozen
I've seen it all before
A parasite in a good disguise
Just another wolf at the door
The wolf
Prowling in the nighttime
The wolf
Howling in the moonshine
The wolf
Gives you what you want but he ain't no friend of mine
You lay it on oh, so sweet
Just like that bad cologne
Just smiling tooth and nail
You gotta make your presence known
But you are only a lonely hunter
Some things you can't disguise
Just to look in the hallway mirror
Now it's howling in your eyes
The wolf
Prowling in the nighttime
The wolf
Howling in the moonshine
The wolf
Gives you what you want but he ain't no friend of mine
Silent, slick and stealthy
Slinking through your evils nights
You can see in the dark they tell me
The daylight burns your eyes
I know you're trying to track me down now
You're right on my trail
Your think you're going for the big big game
But you're chasing your own tail
The wolf
Prowling in the nighttime
The wolf
Howling in the moonshine
The wolf
Gives you what you want but he ain't no friend of mine
