Miss Recklessness Lyrics

She's a woman of convictions

A few acquittals too

She checked into sobriety school

But she couldn't cheat her way through

Designer baggage dragged behind her

Like Jacob Marley's chains

She said a dream deferred is a dream denied

But man all her dreams were strange

Well she couldn't tell the difference

Between what happened and happenstance

And when the lid blew off she lit the Molotov

And I mistook it all for romance

And I've known my share of troubles

But I've never known a woman like this

Never known a woman like this

Miss Recklessness

She fell prey to her own devices

A sight I prayed I'd miss

A sight I prayed I'd miss

Miss Recklessness

Miss Recklessness

How could I ever begin to describe her?

To explain what burdens me

She models endless charm

With only half the harm of the Manson family

I exaggerate the dangers

In my understated way

Then looking deep inside, past my wounded pride

I find a kid who's turning gray

When it was time to convey affection

I laid the plans out nice and neat

But when we cuddled up close, without getting verbose

She was a porcupine in heat

And I've known my share of troubles

But I've never known a woman like this

Never known a woman like this

Miss Recklessness

She fell prey to her own devices

A sight I prayed I'd miss

A sight I prayed I'd miss

Miss Recklessness

Miss Recklessness

And I've known my share of troubles

But I've never known a woman like this

Never known a woman like this

Miss Recklessness

She fell prey to her own devices

A sight I prayed I'd miss

A sight I prayed I'd miss

Miss Recklessness

Miss Recklessness
