i'd have to be crazy

Singer:green, pat

i'd have to be crazy to stop all my singin'

and never play music again. you'd call me a fool if i grabbed up a top hat

and ran out to flag down the wind

i'd have to be weird to grow me a beard

just to see what the rednecks would do

but i'd have to be crazy; plumb out of my mind

to fall out of love with you

i know i've done weird things;

i told people i hear things

when silence was all in the bounds

there's been days when it pleased me

to be on my knees

following ants as they crawled 'cross the ground

been insane on a train

but i'm still me again

in the place where i hold you it's true

so i know i'm all right

'cause i'd have to be crazy

to fall out of love with you. you know i don't intend to

but should there come a day

when i say that i don't love you

you can lock me away

i sure would be dingy

to live in an envelope

waiting alone for a stamp

you'd swear i was loco to rub for a genie

while burning my hand on the lamp

and i may not be normal

but nobody is

so i'd like to say 'fore i'm through

i'd have to be crazy

plumb out of my mind

to fall out of love with you

i'd have to be crazy

plumb out of my mind

to fall out of love with you
