Brave And Crazy - Melissa Etheridge

If I could have my way

I’d be sleeping in the alley

On a couch with a friend

And a bottle of gin

If I could have my way

I’d be runnin' with the circus

I would be taming all the lions

There’d be no denying I was

Brave and crazy

If I could have my way

I wouldn’t be dreaming.

scheming, screaming

Ooh, ooh, ah, ah

Tell me, what am I gonna do

About you?

If wishes were horses

This beggar would ride

I’d have my cake and eat it

With a little on the side

I’d never want for money

I’d never want for friends

I wouldn’t have to make excuses

For the shape that I’m in

Shaking and crazy

Before I saw your eyes

I was in control of my soul, on the whole

Ooh, ooh, ah, ah

Tell me, what am I gonna do

About you?

Ah, cool as a rule

I wouldn’t play nobody’s fool

But I keep on talking

Ah, made in the shade

I had a perfect cue to fade

But I keep on walking

Baby, baby

I keep on walking

If I could have my way

I would check out right now

I’d say out to lunch honey, thanks a bunch

It wouldn’t work out anyhow

This desire’s too much

It’s rented out my brain

It’s showing previews of your body

Driving me insane

Baby, that’s crazy

Ah, so all that I can do

Is to beg, plead, won’t you tell me please

Tell me, what am I gonna do

About you?

Baby, what am I gonna do

About you?

Eh, ah, eh, no

I guess, I guess I just play, oh

Come on, now

Get up, get up

Ah

Eh, yeah, yeah

Ow

(So much for that)
