We got a crazy love
Down baby, up baby
Till the night is out
But you're a mile away
Can't see me cry baby
Sweet holiday
Come rescue me
I tell you what the world needs now is a brand new me
I wanna fly away
Somewhere high where I know you won't be
Call me crazy but I really wanna lose your love
Call me crazy but I really wanna lose your love
Standing at the bus stop, wearing your top
You're a king baby, king baby
Holding onto your love
I should've known when you stopped buying flowers
No point in being a queen if I got no power
Standing in the background
Trying to make some sound
Cry baby, cry baby
As you pull the car around
I put my hands up to my eyes to hide it
It's love suicide
'Cause my mama told me be gracious and outrageous
And never sell your heart to nobody for money, babe
Don't play with matches
You'll get burned someday so bad putting on that red dress
Wish I listened to what mama said
We got a crazy love
Down baby, up baby
Till the night is out
But you're a mile away
Can't see me cry baby
Sweet holiday
Come rescue me
I tell you what the world needs now is a brand new me
I wanna fly away
Somewhere high where I know you won't be
Call me crazy but I really wanna lose your love
Call me crazy but I really wanna lose your love
Standing at the bus stop, wearing your top
You're a king baby, king baby
Holding onto your love
I should've known when you stopped buying flowers
No point in being a queen if I got no power
Standing in the background
Trying to make some sound
Cry baby, cry baby
As you pull the car around
I put my hands up to my eyes to hide it
This love suicide
'Cause my mama told me be gracious and outrageous
And never sell your heart to nobody for money, babe
Don't play with matches
You'll get burned someday so bad putting on that red dress
Wish I listened to what mama said
I'm always sweeping up the mess that you left behind
Boy, I've woken up
I need a holiday
Sweet, sweet Sun to dry these tears away
Standing at the bus stop, wearing your top
You're a king baby, king baby
Holding onto your love
I should've known when you stopped buying flowers
No point in being a queen if I got no power
Standing in the background
Trying to make some sound
Cry baby, cry baby
As you pull the curtain down
I put my hands up to my eyes to hide it
This love suicide
'Cause my mama told me be gracious and outrageous
And never sell your heart to nobody for money, babe
Don't play with matches
You'll get burned someday so bad putting on that red dress
Wish I listened to what mama said
