Reckless
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well I met you in the backroom
You had lipstick on your face
With your see-through backless frilly dress
You were every mom's disgrace
Well I'd like to understand you
But I couldn't even if I tried
Like a charging bull in the face of death
I was fit to be tied
Well come on when I call you Angeline
To be in love with you is just a bit obscene
Let me take you out for one more dance, yeah
My name is reckless when I get a chance
I had a toothbrush in my pocket
You had a six inch home-made knife
You said you haven't slept in seven days
Well I said baby where've you been all my life
Well if opposites attract baby
Well we're like night and day
I said look me up in a couple of years
When that heat sore goes away
Well come on when I call you Angeline Angeline
To be in love with you is just a bit obscene
Let me take you out for one more dance, yeah
My name is reckless when I get the chance
Well come on when I call you Angeline
To be in love with you is just a bit obscene
Let me take you out for one more dance, yeah
My name is reckless when I get a chance
My name is reckless when I get a chance
