John Mellencamp – Born Reckless Lyrics  Share

From John Mellencamp's album: A Biography

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
[ Born Reckless lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/j/john-mellencamp/born-reckless/ ]
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]
