Patsy Cline - Crazy Lyrics

Patsy Cline Lyrics

"Crazy"
(originally by Willie Nelson)

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

Willie Nelson originally wrote the song for country singer Billy Walker who turned it down because it was "a girl's song".

"Crazy" was a follow-up to Patsy Cline's previous big hit "I Fall to Pieces" (1961). Her version was a number-two country hit in 1962.

Barbara Mandrell remembers Patsy Cline introducing the song live in concert by saying, "All my recent hits have come true in my life. I had a hit out called 'Tra-La-La Triangle' and people thought about me and Gerald and Charlie. I had another hit out called 'I Fall to Pieces' and I was in a car wreck. Now I'm really worried because I have a new hit single out and it's called 'Crazy'."
