Lyrics:

Spent 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 didn't know what I was goin' through
But I've loved me some girls and I've broke me some hearts
A Casanova in my own right
As I sit here watchin' the sun comin' up
I guess it's okay, yeah, it's okay to say good night

Born reckless
Born reckless
Born reckless (Watch the family cry)
'Cause I was born to be reckless
'Til 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

Born reckless
Born reckless
Born reckless (Watch the family cry)
'Cause I was born to be reckless
'Til the day I die

Well, what I really wanna 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?

Yeah, born reckless
Born reckless
Born reckless (Watch the family cry)
'Cause I was born to be reckless
'Til the day, 'til the day I die
