Born Reckless — текст песни (John Mellencamp)

Written by 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

*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

(*Repeat 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

(*Repeat Chorus)
