Lyrics

Crazy Baby
Words and music by Joan Osborne

And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful
As you light your twenty seventh cigarette
Oh how long have you been sittin' here in the darkness
You forget

Oh you know you're gettin' really hard to be with
And you're cryin' every time you turn around
And you wonder why you cannot pick your head up
Off the ground

Oh my crazy baby, try to hold on tight
Oh my crazy baby, don't put out the light
The light, the light, the light

And they look at you like they don't speak your language
And you're living at the bottom of a well
And you've swallowed all those awful bloody secrets, that you can't tell
Oh, you know you ought to get your shit together
But you cannot bear to walk outside your door
No, you cannot bear to look into the mirror anymore

Oh, my crazy baby, try to hold on tight
Oh, my crazy baby, don't put out the light
The light, the light, the light

And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful
As your worries crawl around inside your clothes
Oh, how long will you be sittin' here the darkness, Heaven knows

Oh, my crazy baby, try to hold on tight
Oh, my crazy baby, don't put out the light
The light, the light, the light
The light

And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful
As you light your twenty eighth cigarette
