Default wild

In a song (artist:reamonn song:tonight) I heard :

Oh tonight you killed me with your smile
So beautiful and wild so beautiful and wild

what does wild mean?
(I think) here wild is an ajective for noun smile.and the first thing I remeber when I hear wild is a wild animal.I can't understand what kind of smile can be wild ?

thx.

Without the full text of the song, and allowing for punctuation being missing, I think is the girl who is "beautiful and wild", not the smile.

I agree with Anglika : the girl is beautiful and wild.

"She never took the train alone
She hated being on her own
She always took me by the hands
And say she needs me
She never wanted love to fail
She always hoped that it was real
She'd look me in the eyes
and said believe me.
And then the night becomes the day
And there’s nothing left to say
If there's nothing left to say
Then something’s wrong.

[Refrain]
Oh tonight, you killed me with your smile.
So beautiful and wild, so beautiful.
Oh tonight, you killed me with your smile.
So beautiful and wild so beautiful and wild.
.................................................. ......"

Wild means [in this context]:higly enthusiastic , impatiently eager or even untamed.
