Born Reckless

<br>Written by John Mellencamp<br><br>Spend a lot of time tryin` to grow up<br>Guess I got a lot of growin` up to do<br>Used to tell me sit down, hey shut up<br>Guess they don`t know what I was goin` through<br>But I`ve loved me some girls<br>And I`ve broken me some hearts<br>A cast in Nova in my own right<br>As I see here watching the sun coming up<br>I guess it`s okay, yea its ok<br>To say good night<br><br>*Born reckless, born reckless<br>Born reckless (watch the family cry)<br>Cause I was born to be reckless<br>Till the day, I die<br><br>Well you know, I`ve been shoved around<br>Hey, but I`ve done my share of the shovin` too<br>I guess you get what you deserve<br>Yeah you get what`s comin` to you<br>For the life of me, I don`t understand<br>I don`t understand, how I ever got you<br>Someone so warm to hold my hand<br>When this world has beat me back through<br><br>(*Repeat Chorus)<br><br>Well what I really want to say is<br>I guess I don`t know, what it is I really wanna say<br>Anyway the thing is, I`m just surprised<br>That you`re still here with me today<br>`Cause I`ve lied and I`ve cheated<br>And I`ve spit in your face<br>I`ve taken from you exactly what I need<br>But I want you to know<br>There`s no one to take your place<br>How can we embrace love, how can we make love<br>At such an high rate of speed<br><br>(*Repeat Chorus)
