Written by 
John Mellencamp and 
Randy Handley 
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
