John Mellencamp - Born Reckless Lyrics
Written by John MellencampSpend a lot of time tryin' to grow upGuess I got a lot of growin' up to doUsed to tell me sit down, hey shut upGuess they don't know what I was goin' throughBut I've loved me some girlsAnd I've broken me some heartsA cast in Nova in my own rightAs I see here watching the sun coming upI guess it's okay, yea its okTo say good night*Born reckless, born recklessBorn reckless (watch the family cry)Cause I was born to be recklessTill the day, I dieWell you know, I've been shoved aroundHey, but I've done my share of the shovin' tooI guess you get what you deserveYeah you get what's comin' to youFor the life of me, I don't understandI don't understand, how I ever got youSomeone so warm to hold my handWhen this world has beat me back through(*Repeat Chorus)Well what I really want to say isI guess I don't know, what it is I really wanna sayAnyway the thing is, I'm just surprisedThat you're still here with me today'Cause I've lied and I've cheatedAnd I've spit in your faceI've taken from you exactly what I needBut I want you to knowThere's no one to take your placeHow can we embrace love, how can we make loveAt such an high rate of speed(*Repeat Chorus)
