Brave And Crazy Lyrics

If I could have my way

I'd be sleeping in the alley 

On a couch with a friend and a bottle of gin 

If I could have my way

I'd be runnin' with the circus

I would be taming all the lions

There'd be no denying I was brave and crazy 

If I could have my way 

I wouldn't be dreaming, scheming, screaming

Oooh, what am I gonna do 

About you 

If wishes were horses 

This beggar would ride

I'd have my cake and eat it 

With a little on the side 

I'd never want for money 

I'd never want for friends

I wouldn't have to make excuses for the shape that I'm in 

Shaking and crazy 

Before I saw your eyes

I was in control of my soul on the whole

Oooh, what am I gonna do 

About you 

Cool as a rule 

I wouldn't play nobody's fool 

But I keep on talking 

Made in the shade

I had a perfect cue to fade 

But I keep on walking

If I could have my way 

I'd check out right now 

I'd say out to lunch honey thanks a bunch 

It wouldn't work out anyhow 

But this desire's too much

It's rented out my brain 

It's showing previews of your body

Driving me insane 

And that's crazy 

So all that I can do 

Is to beg, plead, won't you tell me please 

What am I gonna do 

About you
