Anthony works the corner of Hollywood and Vine all day
People stop and stare, but he don't mind
Sara's down on Sunset, passing the time away,
'Cause a few good men are still so hard to find
Take a look behind that tough exterior that you see
You'll find they're really not that
Different from the likes of you and me
They're reckless boys and bad, bad girls
With looks that kill from heartbreak
Still they're hurting
Just normal kids from mad, mad worlds
But, when they strike that pose,
Everyone knows they're reckless boys and bad, bad girls
Jerry's out on the playground, knowing what's in store
A deal is made, then he quietly slips away
Amber's at her locker,
Hiding behind the door, with a thermos holding more than soup today
Take a look behind that tough exterior that you see
You'll find they're really not that
Different from the likes of you and me
They're reckless boys and bad, bad girls
With looks that kill from heartbreak
Still they're hurting
Just normal kids from mad, mad worlds
But, when they strike that pose,
Everyone knows they're reckless boys and bad, bad girls
Oh now, Eric reads his Bible to surfers on
The pier, talking to each lonely passerby, oh
Laura prays in homeroom; teacher better off not to hear
She knows it's wrong, but can't understand why
Take a look behind that calm exterior that you see
You'll find they're really not that
Different from the likes of you and me
They're reckless boys and bad, bad girls
With a love that kills the heartbreak chills for certain
Just normal kids in mad, mad worlds
But everyone knows that Jesus chose
Those reckless boys and bad, bad girls
Reckless boys and bad, bad girls
With a love that kills the heartbreak chills for certain
Just normal kids in mad, mad worlds
When they strike that pose,
Everyone knows they're reckless boys and bad, bad girls
