Born Reckless Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Spend a lot of time tryin' to grow up 

Guess I got a lot of growin' up to do 

Used to tell me sit down, hey shut up 

Guess they don't know what I was goin' through 

But I've loved me some girls 

And I've broken me some hearts 

A cast in Nova in my own right 

As I see here watching the sun coming up 

I guess it's okay, yea its ok 

To say good night

[Chorus:] 

Born reckless, born reckless 

Born reckless (watch the family cry) 

Cause I was born to be reckless 

Till the day, I die 

Well you know, I've been shoved around 

Hey, but I've done my share of the shovin' too 

I guess you get what you deserve 

Yeah you get what's comin' to you 

For the life of me, I don't understand 

I don't understand, how I ever got you 

Someone so warm to hold my hand 

When this world has beat me back through 

[Chorus]

Well what I really want to say is 

I guess I don't know, what it is I really wanna say 

Anyway the thing is, I'm just surprised 

That you're still here with me today 

'Cause I've lied and I've cheated 

And I've spit in your face 

I've taken from you exactly what I need 

But I want you to know 

There's no one to take your place 

How can we embrace love, how can we make love 

At such an high rate of speed 

[Chorus]
