Should I Come Home (Or Should I Go Crazy)
Gene Watson · Eighteen Greatest Hits [Teevee] [1999]
I wonder if youve had the time it takes to think it over
To sort out all the feelings in your mind
Sometimes I think you've found someone to do your thinking for you
'Cause lately you've been showing all the signs.
Should I come home, or should I go crazy?
I'm beggin' you please, make up your mind.
If you love me, then think it all over.
So make up your mind, or I'll lose mine.
--- Instrumental ---
Last night when I came by, I rang the bell and no one answered,
But I heard voices whisper through the door
Now I'm not sure if anyone was home to do the talking
'Cause lately I hear voices more and more.
Should I come home, or should I go crazy?
I'm beggin' you please, make up your mind
If you love me, then think it all over
So make up your mind, or I'll lose mine
Should I come home, or should I go crazy?
I'm beggin' you please, make up your mind
If you love me, then think it all over
So make up your mind, or I'll lose mine.
