Crazy Blue Eyes (1979)
Mama, I will always love losers
Mama, I never will change
These young desperados who can't be tied down
Have driven me almost insane
I've only myself to blame
But I'd rather gamble on a young desperado
Cause I've always loved a good game
Why do I fall for those crazy blue eyes?
Those mavericks who won't settle down
But I never could stand the touch of a man
Who'd brand me to keep me around
Mama, please don't feel sorry
I've known what I've done from the start
Well I chose a man I could love with my body
But none I could touch with my heart
Why do I fall for those crazy blue eyes?
Those mavericks who won't settle down
But I never could stand the touch of a man
Who'd brand me to keep me around
Why do I fall for those crazy blue eyes?
Those mavericks who won't settle down
But I never could stand the touch of a man
Who'd brand me to keep me around
And I'll live till I die believing the lie
Cause I love those crazy blue eyes
Crazy blue eyes
In Lacy J Dalton's "Crazy Blue Eyes," the singer describes her romantic attraction to men who are wild, adventurous, and unreliable. She admits that she loves "losers" and "young desperados," and she acknowledges that this preference brings her great pain and frustration. Despite these negative consequences, however, she cannot resist the "crazy blue eyes" of these men. The singer contrasts her attraction to these men with her aversion to those who would "brand" her and try to control her.
The song is a portrait of a woman who is caught between her romantic impulses and her desire for independence. She knows that her choices are self-destructive, but she is unable to break free from her patterns of attraction. At the same time, she resists any attempt to limit or possess her, fearing that such attempts would ultimately destroy her spirit. The song speaks to the complexities of human relationships, the interplay between desire and autonomy, and the ways in which our emotional needs can sometimes lead us astray.
