“Crazy”
Crazy
I’m crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you’d love me as long as you wanted
And then some day
You’d leave me for somebody new
Worry
Why do I let myself worry?
Wondering
What in the world did I do?
Oh, crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I’m crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I’m crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I’m crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I’m crazy for loving
You
“Walking After Midnight”
I go out walkin’ after midnight
Out in the moonlight, just like we used to do
I’m always walkin’ after midnight
Searchin’ for you
I walk for miles along the highway
Well, that’s just my way of sayin’ I love you
I’m always walkin’ after midnight
Searchin’ for you
I stop to see a weepin’ willow
Cryin’ on his pillow
Maybe he’s cryin’ for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me
I’m lonesome as I can be
I go out walkin’ after midnight
Out in the moonlight, just hoping you may be
Somewhere a-walkin’ after midnight
Searchin’ for me
I stop to see a weepin’ willow
Cryin’ on his pillow
Maybe he’s cryin’ for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me
I’m lonesome as I can be
I go out walkin’ after midnight
Out in the starlight, just hoping you may be
Somewhere a-walkin’ after midnight
Searchin’ for me
“Lovesick Blues”
Got a feelin’ cause I’m blue, oh, Lord
Since my daddy said goodbye
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
All I do is sit and cry, oh, Lord
That last long day he said goodbye
Oh, Lord, I thought I would die
He’ll do ya, he’ll do me, he’s got that kinda lovin’
But, Lord, I love to hear him when he calls me sweet baby
What a beautiful dream
I hate to think it all over
I lost my heart it seems
I’ve grown so used to that man, somehow
And I’m nobody’s sugar-baby now
‘Cause I’m lonesome
I got the lovesick blues
Now I’m in love, I’m in love with a wonderful guy
That’s what’s the matter with me
Well, I’m in love, I’m in love with a wonderful guy
But he don’t care about me
Well, I tried and I tried to keep him satisfied
But he just wouldn’t stay
But now that he is leavin’, this is all I’ve got to say
I got a feelin’ cause I’m blue, oh Lord, since my daddy said goodbye
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
I lost my heart it seems
I’ve grown so used to that man, somehow
And I’m nobody’s sugar-baby now
‘Cause I’m lonesome
I got the lovesick blues
I’ve grown so used to that man, and how
And I’m nobody’s sugar-baby now
‘Cause I’m lonesome
I got the lovesick blues
“Blue Moon of Kentucky”
I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin’
Shine on the one that’s gone and left me blue
Blue moon of kentucky, keep on a-shinin’
Shine on the one that’s gone and left me blue
It was on one moonlit night, stars shinin’ bright
Whispered on high, love said goodbye
I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin’
Shine on the one that’s gone and left me blue
Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin’
Shine on the one that’s gone and left me blue
Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin’
Shine on the one that’s gone and left me blue
Well, it was on one moonlit night, stars shinin’ bright
Whispered on high, your lover said goodbye
I said blue moon of kentucky, keep on a-shinin’
Shine on the one that’s gone and left me blue
Left me blue
Left me blue
Left me blue
“I Fall To Pieces”
I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend?
You want me to act like we’ve never kissed
You want me to forget (to forget)
Pretend we’ve never met (never met)
And I’ve tried and I’ve tried, but I haven’t yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who’ll love me too (love me too)
The way you used to do (used to do)
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces
You walk by and I fall to pieces
