The Good the Bad & the Crazy
Imany Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're wondering what I mean, I see
Meet the good, the bad and the crazy
I come in many shades and shapes
So don't put up the barricades
I'm not here to make a war
But I get crazy sometimes
I'm out of my mind
Nothing can bring me down
Or keep me sound
I won't get home on time
There's no need for you to follow me
I don't need a chaperone you see
Sanity has gone down the drain
I won't apologize to you
I don't know what I want it's true
Believe I'll still be fine
But I get crazy sometimes
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
Nothing can bring me down
Or keep me sound
I won't get home on time
But I get crazy sometimes
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
Nothing can bring me down
Or keep me sound
I won't get home on time
Heads up
Close your eyes
Feel the rain and loose your hair
Swing your hips from right to the left
You're free to own yourself
But I get crazy sometimes
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
Nothing can bring me down
Or keep me sound
I won't get home on time
But I get crazy sometimes
I'm out of my mind
I'm out of my mind
Nothing can bring me down
Or keep me sound
I won't get home on time
