Everybody thinks I'm crazy, it's going around The girl is headed for a heartbreak, she's going down They say I'm always wanting something that I can't have Baby, what about you? Everybody says you really ought to go home Tell the man that you love him when you're all alone I don't really think that that's something I can do Baby, what about you? Sometimes, late at night, when I'm missing you And I'm calling out your name I don't know if it's wrong, I don't know if it's right But I follow my heart just the same I don't really think I'm crazy for taking my time I'm just looking for the answers I've gotta find They say it's gonna be a long hard ride Baby, what about you?
