Had to go crazy to love you
Had to go down to the pit
Had to do time in the tower
Beggin' my crazy to quit
Had to go crazy to love you
You, who were never the one
E (E7)
Her braids and her blouse all un-done
Sometimes I?d head for the highway
I?m old and the mirrors don?t lie
But crazy has places to hide in
That are deeper than any good-bye
Had to go crazy to love you
Had to let everything fall
Had to be people I hated
Had to be no one at all
I?m tired of choosing de-sire
I?ve been saved by a blessed fatigue
The gates of commitment un-wired
And nobody tryin? to leave
Sometimes I?d head for the highway
I?m old and the mirrors don?t lie
But crazy has places to hide in
That are deeper than any good-bye
Had to go crazy to love you
You, who were never the one
E (E7)
Her braids and her blouse all un-done
