Reckless

Bryan Adams Reckless Lyrics
1.One Night Love Affair

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

You're the silent type
And you caught my eye,
But I never thought
That I'd be touchin' you.
How was I to know
I'd let my feelings go
And that I'd be yours
Before the night was through.

One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care,
We were both reachin' out for somethin'.
One night love affair
Pretendin' it ain't there,
Oh, and now we're left with nothin'.

When the mornin' breaks
We go our separate ways
If the night was made for love
It ain't for keeps.
But I lose control
As I watch you go
All my senses say I'm in this much too deep,
Now you're outa reach.
One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care,
We were both reachin' out for somethin'.
One night love affair
Pretendin' we don't care,
Oh, and now we're left with nothin'.

One night love affair
Tryin' to make like we don't care,
We were both reachin' out for somethin'.
One night love affair
Sometimes love ain't fair,
Oh, and now we're left with nothin'.


2.She's Only Happy When She's Dancin'

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

Monday mornin', it's time to get up,
Two cups of coffe and she runs for the bus,
Looks in the window and fixes her hair,
Nobody notices and nobody cares.
She admits it ain't no kinda life
Workin' nine to five, you know
CHORUS:
She's only happy when she's dancin'.
There ain't no place that she'd rather be,
when she's dancin',
Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies.

When friday evenin' finally rolls around,
She grabs a taxi and she heads uptown,
Goes to a place they call 'The Ball & Chain',
Nothin' matters until monday, so she goes insane.
Well, it's a bitch tryin' to make ends meet,
But that's the way the story goes.
She's only happy when she's dancin'.
There ain't nothin' makes her feel so free,
when she's dancin',
The girl's outrageous and it's plain to see.
She ain't got much,
But she got independence.
Yeah, she's doin' alright.
His eyes were on her as the evening's endin',
But she ain't goin' for no mistery,
Because nobody rides for free.

CHORUS

Dancin'


3.Run To You

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

She says her love for me
Could never die,
But that'd change
If she ever found out about you and I.
Oh, but her love is cold,
It wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know
'Cause when it gets too much
I need to feel your touch.
I'm gonna run to you.
I'm gonna run to you.
'Cause when the feeling's right
I'm gonna run all night,
I'm gonna run to you.

She's got a heart of gold,
She'd let me down,
But you're the one that always turns me on,
You keep me comin' round.
I know her love is true,
But it's so damn easy makin' love to you
And I got my mind made up,
I need to feel your touch.
I'm gonna run to you.
I'm gonna run to you.
'Cause when the feeling's right
I'm gonna stay all night,
I'm gonna run to you.
I'm gonna run to you.
Yeah, I'm gonna run to you.
'Cause when the feeling's right
I'm gonna run all night,
I'm gonna run to you.


4.Heaven

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

Oh, thinkin' about all our younger years,
There was only you and me,
We were young and wild and free.
Now nothin' can take you away from me,
We've been down that road before, but that's over now,
You keep me comin' back for more.
CHORUS:
Baby, you're all that I want,
When you're lyin' there in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven.
And love is all that I need,
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven.
Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around,
Bring you up when you're feelin' down.
Yeah, nothin' can change what you mean to me,
Oh, there's lots that I could say,
But just hold me now, cause our love will light the way.
CHORUS

I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive,
For love to come along,
Now our dreams are comin' true.
Through the good times and the bad,
Yeah, I'll be standin' there by you.

You're all that I want,
You're all that I need ...


5.Somebody

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

I been lookin' for someone
Through the fire and the flame.
We're all lookin' for someone
To ease the pain.
Now who can you turn to
When ist's all black and white
And the winners are losers,
You can see it every night.

CHORUS:
I need somebody,
Somebody like you.
Everybody needs somebody.
I need somebody,
Hey, what about you.
We all need somebody.

When you're out on the front line
And you're watchin' them fall,
It doesn't take long to realize
It ain't worth fightin' for.
I thought I saw the madonna
When you walked in the room
And your eyes were lide diamonds
And they cut right through,
Yeah, they cut right through.
CHORUS

Another night,
Another lesson learnt.
It's the distance that keeps us sane
When the silence leads to sorrow
Let's do it all again,
All again.

CHORUS (2x)


6.Summer Of '69

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

I got my first real six-string,
Bought it at the five-and-dimes,
Played it till my fingers bled,
It was the summer of '69.
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard.
Jimmy quit and Jodie got married,
I shoulda know we'd never get far.

Oh, when I look back now,
And if I had the choice,
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there,
Those were the best days of my life.

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you've got a job to do,
Spent my evening's down at the drive-in,
And that's where I met you.

Standin' at your mama's porch,
You told me that you'd wait forever,
And when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never,
Those were the best days of my life.
Back in the summer of '69.
Man, we were killin' time,
We were young and restless,
We needed to unwind.
I guess nothin' can last forever,
Forever, no.

And now the times are a-chanign',
Look at everything that's come and gone.
Every time I play that old six-string,
Think about you, wonder what went wrong.

Standin' by your mama's porch,
You told me it would last forever.
Oh, the way you held my hand,
I knew that it was now or never.
Those were the best days of my life.

Back in the summer of '69.


7.Kids Wanna Rock

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

Turned on the radio,
Sounded like a disco,
Musta turned the dial
For a couple of miles,
But I couldn't find no rock'n'roll.
This computerized crap ain't gettin' me off,
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.
London to L. A.
Talkin' 'bout the new wave.
For a couple of bucks
You get a weird haircut
and waster your life away,
Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.
Get me my D. J.,
I got somethin' he's gotta play,
Wanna hear it, I can't wait,
So turn it up, turn it up ...
Kick down the barricades,
Listen what the kids say.
From time to time
People change their minds,
But the music is here to stay.
I've seen it all from the bottom to the top,
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.

Around the world or around the block,
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.
Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock.


8.It's Only Love

Written:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Vocal:Bryan Adams/Tina Turner

When the feelin' is ended,
There ain't no use pretendin',
Don't you worry, it's only love.
When your world has been shattered
And there ain't nothin' else matters,
It ain't over, it's only love.
And that's all, yeah.
When your heart has been broken
And hard words have been spoken,
It ain't easy, but it's only love.
And if your life ain't worth livin'
And you're ready to give in,
Just remeber that it's only love.
You can live without the aggravation,
You gotta wanna win, you gotta wanna win.
You keep lookin' back in desperation
Over and over and over again.
When your world is shattered
And nothin' else matters,
It ain't over, it's only love.
If your life ain't worth livin'
And you're ready to give in,
Just remember that it's only love.
Yeah, that's all.

It ain't easy, baby,
It's only love, and that's all.


9.Long Gone

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

The telephone is ringin',
Ringin' off the wall,
It's your Las Vegas lawyer,
Another long distance call.
He says you get the house and the car
and I get the clothes I got on.
CHORUS:
Now she's gone,
Long, long, long, long gon.
Now I'm a happy boy.
She's long, long, long, long gone.

Operator, get me Manhattan,
Get my baby on the line.
Sooner or later
She's gotta realize
That all my feelings were for real,
But maybe she was leadin' me on.
CHORUS
She took the frigidaire,
She got my favourite chair,
You could sy she's got the best of me.
It's like a legal crime,
But in a matter of time
She'll be back for the rest of me.

But now she's gone,
Long, long, long, long gone.
Now give me peace of mind.
She's long, long, long, long gone.
Now I'm a happy boy...


10.Ain't Gonna Cry

Lyrics:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance
Music:Bryan Adams/Jim Vallance

Well, I hardly knew you, baby,
When you were comin' on,
But mama told me ther'd be days like these.
I should known better maybe,
Shoulda seen right through ya,
I needed you like a disease.
CHORUS:
I ain't gonna cry over you,
You're a mistery.
I ain't gonna cry over you,
you're history, history.

You said you'd wait forever,
But I know your type,
The lights are on but no one's home.
I changed my number maybe,
You'd better change your mind
'Cause I'd rather spend the night alone.
CHORUS
I ain't gonna cry over you,
You're a misery.
I ain't gonna cry over you,
you're history.

I ain't your kinda guy,
So forget about me
'Cause I ain't too shy
To say what I'm thinkin', hit it.

I got reckless, baby,
Put you in your place,
Next time better rearrange your face.
