When I wasn't nothin' but a child
When I wasn't nothin' but a child
All you men tried to drive me wild

Now I'm growin' old
Now I'm growin' old
And I've got what it takes to get all of you men told
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bessie+smith/reckless+blues_21003241.html ]
My mama says I'm reckless, my daddy says I'm wild
My mama says I'm reckless, my daddy says I'm wild

I ain't good lookin' but I'm somebody's angel child

Daddy, mama wants some lovin'
Daddy, mama wants some huggin'
Darn it pretty papa, mama wants some lovin' I vow
Darn pretty papa, mama wants some lovin' right now
