Reckless

Look out baby, I’m comin to town
I’ll tear it up, and I’ll tear it down
Reckless
I play long, I play hard
I play for keeps, with no holds barred

And I rock and I roll
And I do it out of control
I’m reckless

And I do anything that hasn’t been done
I’ll do it for money, I’ll do it for fun
Reckless
And I do get busted, I don’t understand
I’ll be your lover baby, I’m a back-door man

I’m fast and I take chances
I’m a fool for one night romances
I’m reckless
Get reckless

Uh – Yeah
Reckless

Well, I want it now, I can’t wait my turn
I’ve been fried, but I won’t get burned
I live my life for the flash
Reach for the edge, but I won’t crash
Like all the rest

The stronger the danger
I could care less
Leaves me breathless
Reckless

Reckless
Reckless
I break all the rules
Reckless
I wanna live for today
Reckless
Reckless
Reckless
Reckless
Reckless
Reckless
