Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Recklessly, you lost that love, that love, baby
Recklessly, you lost that love
You make me reckless
[Verse 2]
Standing by the disco floor
Spot this girl my heart jump and move
Yeah, yeah
Walk over, said to her lovely things
She said I was a fool
Oh no
She said, "This is not the right time, baby
I came here to groove"
[Verse 3]
And recklessly I took my time
When I look back
The girl had made a move
Yeah, yeah
The music played on, played on
Why didn't you make your move
Somebody came one, came on
And stole the girl from you
[Verse 4]
It's the groove to make you move
So come one and get down
To this funky sound
Do what you please
You are entitled to flaunt
Get wild and reckless if you want
[Verse 5]
'Cause the sound we deliver
Takes you higher, most definitely
With desire, desire, desi-si-si-si-sire
[Verse 6]
You make me reckless
You make me reckless, reckless every day
You make me reckless (I want your mind, body and soul)
You make me reckless, reckless every day
You make me reckless
[Verse 7]
So as the music played, I had to find a way
To catch her eye
Yeah, yeah
The partner she was with
He did not know how to gig
Said I, oh no
She said, "Mister, get away from me
I need a man that knows how to move"
Yeah, yeah
I took her arm, we start to dance
Suddenly a quick romance
Ooh, yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
The music played on, played on
Why didn't you make your move?
Somebody came on, came on
And stole the girl from you
[Verse 9]
This is a message that you should discover
You can't trust a girl or judge them by the cover
They can lead you on and keep you in a daze
Keep your head over heels and keep you amazed
[Verse 10]
It's up to you, whether you fall in the trap
Just remember when you push up to have a strong rap
'Cause nowadays, things are real funny
You can bet, more than likely, all she wants is your money
[Verse 11]
So listen, take heed to what I say
With or without you, the girl is okay
Girls are the same everywhere
You can bet all they want from you
Is what they can get
And when they finish you can bet that you've tried her
They'll leave you penniless
With desire, desire, desi-si-si-si-sire
[Verse 12]
You make me reckless
You make me reckless, reckless every day
You make me reckless
You make me reckless, reckless every day
You make me reckless
You make me reckless, reckless every day
You make me reckless
(Funky, funky mama)
You make me reckless, reckless every day
You make me reckless
You make me reckless
