Crazy
I'm crazy for feelin' so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feelin' so blue
I knew
You'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday
You'd leave me for somebody new
Worry
Why do I let myself worry?
Wonderin'
What in the world did I do?
Oh, crazy
For thinkin' that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for tryin' and crazy for cryin'
And I'm crazy for lovin' you
Crazy
For thinkin' that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for tryin' and crazy for cryin'
And I'm crazy for lovin' you
