|
She's got tights on her legs |
|
She's got a floppy |
|
French hat |
|
Voodoo in her eyes |
|
An endangered species on her back |
|
She talks about the movies |
|
She likes to talk about art |
|
She can show you a good time |
|
But you'll never touch her heart |
|
CHORUS Mama why do |
|
I always fall for the crazy ones |
|
Mama why do they lay so heavy on my heart |
|
Well I'm drawn to the devil every time we kiss |
|
Mama why do the crazy ones leave me feeling like this |
|
She's got backstage access |
|
And she's a dancin' in the aisles |
|
She looks a little sad and crooked |
|
When you see her smile |
|
She's got the magic heart |
|
She says you cannot understand |
|
She's got a secret hurt |
|
She ain't gonna share with no man |
|
CHORUS She's got her mind on her business |
|
She never wants to be broke |
|
Well, I hate to see her suffer |
|
But she just does not get the joke |
|
I can't afford her style of living |
|
I can't afford to get so mad |
|
Every time |
|
I think about her |
|
It just makes me sad |
|
CHORUS |
