Lyrics
I've got a reckless heart
And it's begging for mercy
Been bad from the start
Well, I don't know how you can be so cruel
Then turn around and make me act like a fool
Please don't stop my reckless heart
If it weren't for love
I'd have no will or desire
A devil or an angel of fire
Well, I don't know how you can be so mean
Then turn around and make me give everything
Please don't stop my reckless heart
My reckless heart
Burns a beat of passion
If you play a part
It's all for my satisfaction
But if it's truly real
And loving me is how you feel
A true attraction
A love reaction
Can heal my reckless heart
My reckless heart
Is begging for mercy
Been bad from the start
Well, I don't know how you can be so cruel
Then turn around and make me act like a fool
Please don't stop my reckless heart
No, please don't stop my reckless heart
