Please forgive me while I turn out the light
watch this haunted day turn into a wasted night
so cut me off - throw me out
'cause I'm reckless, I'm a reckless goddamn son of a bitch!

[chorus]
I'm reckless
so reckless
god save me from this madness

I'm walking on broken glass from the wreckage of my past
I'm locked up in a cage 'cause I'm a prisoner of my ways
so cut me off - throw me out
'cause I'm reckless, I'm a reckless goddamn son of a bitch!

Thank God I've got a woman with my name across her heart
loving me ain't easy, loving me is hard
I'm sorry about the madness but that's the wat it's gotta be
'cause it takes a crazy woman to love a reckless man like me
