PRETTY RECKLESS

- Light Me Up Lyrics

Does what I'm wearing seem to shock you? Well, that's okay
'Cause what I'm thinking about you is not okay
I've got it on my mind to change my ways
But I don't think I can be anything other than me
No, I don't think I can be anything other than me

Do you have a light? Can you make me feel alright?
There's plenty of light to go around
Do you think it's right when you hit me to the ground?
Well, light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down

Does what I'm saying seem to haunt you? Well, that's okay
'Cause what I'm saying about you is not okay
I've got it on my mind to change my ways
But I don't think I can be anything other than me
No, I don't think I can be anything other than me

Do you have a light? Can you make me feel alright?
There's plenty of light to go around
Do you think it's right when you hit me to the ground?
Well, light me up when I'm down

Just light me up when I'm down
Just light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down

Does what I'm taking seem to bother you? Well, that's okay
'Cause I can take it all without you and I'm okay
I've got it on my mind to change my ways
But I don't think I can be anything other than me
No, I don't think I can be anything other than me

Do you have a light? Can you make me feel alright?
There's plenty of light to go around
Do you think it's right when you hit me to the ground?
Well, light me up when I'm down

Just light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down
Light me up when I'm down

Good song. There's a good play on words,'light me up when I'm down' can refer to happiness, or drugs. I think it's about how you should be yourself and do what you want to do, not what others want.
