Reckless from SPARKLY by carlz barkley

there were times when i was trustin' and naive
my lust for love was sweet and sweepin'
then came the days it all turned ugly
slammin' doors and fightin' words, you kept me weepin'
so i raised a toast, drank to your ghost, wrote down "get it together" on my checklist
but i can't help feelin' haphazard, i'm still haunted by that bastard
now i'm reckless

i'm a whole lotta woman
but i sure ain't cautious, careful, or self-trustin'
and when it comes to my companions, you can bet your ass my sweet tooth needs adjustin'
i get out yer bed and search my head for reasons i get into all these messes
but i'm drunk on your vibrations, i don't care for calculations
cause i'm reckless

what can i do?
i just love you
you'll never know 'cause, oh, you love you too
but i'll never lose
as long as i'm aloof and listless
keep you within spittin' distance
kiss you deep and then put on my walkin' shoes

if you've got romanticisms,
i've got defense mechanisms up my sleeve
but if you laugh at all my jokes and give my cheek a couple strokes,
i'll never leave
and it's probably mean that i'm so keen on keepin' our love so damn disconnected
if you float, i'll pull you under, and if you roll, i'll steal your thunder
cause i'm reckless

oh, i'm bad. but i ain't evil!
and i'll sabotage myself before another
and, though i'm howlin' like a cartoon wolf,
i'm just a little puppy undercover
well if god above gave me all this love, why couldn't she teach me how to express it?
i'm a sloppy go-getter and a skillful pantywrecker
and i'm reckless

was it your mission to test me?
'cause you wrecked me
so i'll get wrecked and get reckless
let's get reckless
