Reckless

Olivia Newton-John · A Celebration In Song [2011]

[John:]

For every moment we steal

[Both:]

For every heartache we feel

[Olivia:]

For every last goodbye

We've ever tried

[Both:]

Our love gets harder still to hide

I'm doing my best

But I can't help feeling

Reckless

I, I, I'm itching to call your name

So reckless

I, I, I'm hoping you feel the same

You should be giving all of your love to me

[John:]

Tell everyone you're mine

[Olivia:]

Step out of line

[Both:]

Recklessly

[John:]

You seem to believe it's okay

[Both:]

To put truth aside for today

[Olivia:]

If you ever count the cost

You'll see for sure

[Both:]

Your lies are gonna cost you more

I'm doing my best but I can't help feeling

Reckless,

I, I, I'm itching to call your name

So reckless

I, I, I'm hoping you feel the same

You should be giving all of your love to me

[John:]

Tell everyone you're mine

[Olivia:]

Step out of line

[Both:]

Recklessly

[John:]

Tell everyone you're mine

[Olivia:]

Step out of line

[Both:]

Recklessly

[John:]

Tell everyone

[Both:]

Tell'em you're mine

Step out of line

Recklessly

Reckless
