I'm Crazy To Love You - Original Mono - Sarah Vaughan

Had to go crazy to love you

Had to go down to the pit

Had to do time in the tower

Begging my crazy to quit

Had to go crazy to love you

You who were never the one

Whom I chased through the souvenir heartache

Her braids and her blouse all undone

Sometimes I’d head for the highway

I’m old and the mirrors don’t lie

But crazy has places to hide in

Deeper than saying goodbye

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 desire

Been saved by a sweet fatigue

The gates of commitment unwired

And nobody trying 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

Deeper than saying goodbye

Had to go crazy to love you

You who were never the one

Whom I chased through the souvenir heartache

Her braids and her blouse all undone
