Lovers Are Crazy

Steve Vai

He looks a lot like Blondie Bumstead

When he lies in bed

He cries a lot like Shirley Temple

When he's lost his head

He sings a lot like Greta Garbo

When he's drunk instead

He died a lot like Marilyn Monroe

When he ate those reds



He's giving it all to her

He asks for nothing back

He died for the love of her

And many people think that's sad



Lovers are crazy (Lovers are crazy)

I'm tellin' you

Say I'm your baby (Say I'm your baby)

I'm beggin' you

You can't say maybe (You can't say maybe)

Or I'm leavin' you

Are we just crazy (Are we just crazy)

Am I hurting you?



She looks a lot like John Belushi

When she needs a fix

She cries a lot like Ronald Reagan

When she gets a zit

She sings a lot like Elvis Presley

When she gets the clap

She died a lot like Jimi Hendrix

And that's too bad



She's trying to love him back

But it doesn't seem to work

She's striving to make it last

But it's tearing up her heart and soul



Lovers are crazy (Lovers are crazy)

I'm tellin' you

Say I'm your baby (Say I'm your baby)

I'm beggin' you

You can't say maybe (You can't say maybe)

Or I'm leavin' you

Are we just crazy (Are we just crazy)

Am I hurting you?



Sometimes you feel like you're alone

Maybe you feel better again

Don't get so strung out

You're not even near the end



They look a lot like Astaire and Rogers

When they dance a lot

They cry a lot like Tony and Maria

When they're out of luck

They sing a lot like Martin & Lewis

When they run amok

They died a lot like no one I know

When their love dried up



No one can fantasize

What life without love's like

You can just pantomime

Someone else's silent night



Lovers are crazy (Lovers are crazy)

I'm tellin' you

Say I'm your baby (Say I'm your baby)

I'm beggin' you

You can't say maybe (You can't say maybe)

Or I'm leavin' you

Are we just crazy (Are we just crazy)

Am I hurting you?
