You're wound up tight like a hairpin trigger 
 Just about ready to snap 
 You're driving 'round like a crash test dummy 
 All over the map 
 You're doing this, you're doing that 
 One thing leads to another 
 And maybe some day if you ever sleep 
 You're gonna wake up and discover 
    You live your life like a wrecking ball 
 Just get carried away 
 And then you bounce back from another close call 
 Live your life like a wrecking ball 
 You're at the table, it's the same old game 
 Double up the bet 
 You keep on hoping that your luck will change 
 It hasn't happened yet   
 You live your life like a wrecking ball 
 Pretty high price to pay 
 And then you slam into another brick wall 
 Live your life like a wrecking ball 
 Live your life like a wrecking ball 
 Pretty high price to pay 
 And then you slam into another brick wall 
 Live your life like a wrecking ball   
 And you know it's tough to be the last man standing 
 When you're crawling on the floor 
 You're coming in for a bumpy landing 
 Better circle 'round some more 
 You live your life like a wrecking ball 
 Just get carried away 
 Then you bounce back from another close call 
 Live your life like a wrecking ball
