Intro: Dialogue
Jean: What'll you ever be? What'll you ever do? How will you ever know if you don't take a chance?
Chorus: You have got to gamble with fate
Jean: I wanna live, love, learn a lot I'll light my candle And I'll burn a lot
Chorus: You'll have some bad shots, hard knocks
Jean: I'm on my own if I bruise
Chorus: And there'll be smiles here, shouts here
Jean: And I can take it on the chin if I lose Because I'm reckless
Chorus: She's simply reckless
Jean: Reckless!
Chorus: She's simply reckless
Jean: I'm gonna go places and look life in the face
Jean (Singing): When I'm in love I'm reckless Each time in love I'm more reckless I won't go weeping For lost romances I pay my losses And I take new chances
I'm reckless And I don't want advice I'll keep on seeking my own paradise I waste no weeping I just keep hoping For one who's hoping for me
-Chorus girl dance sequence-
Jean: I've made my mind up That I'll wind up I'll take what's coming to me
I've been around It's been, why advertise I have lived And I've loved What is life Without love?
Keep your feet on the ground All my friends have advised If you'll fight, you will fall So I fight, and I fell Every time my heart beats calmly
