It's a Crazy World
Skeeter Davis · What Does It Take (RCA Victor) [1967]
(Bill Dees)
(It's a crazy world.)
Now I'm alone starting to cry because my man just said goodbye
He thinks I threw him away even when I begged him to stay
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's a crazy world.
Right down the street not very far my man speed find him a bar
He thinks he's got it made but he can't take his troubles away
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's a crazy world.
Nothing to him meant something to me
What makes want a prisoner sets another one free
What makes me lonely makes someone else glad
What make me happy does someone else mad
It's a crazy world.
You say it's the truth I know it's a lie you tell me hello you mean goodbye
Two and two used to make four but I just don't know anymore
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's a crazy world.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's a crazy world
It's a crazy world, it's a crazy world, it's a crazy world...
