Crazy Arms
Lewis Jerry Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That old storm brewing in this heart of mine
Someday crazy arms will hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that needs to hold somebody new
While your heart keeps saying "you're not mine, not mine, not mine, not mine"
My troubled mind grows blue to another you'll be wed
Now take all those precious dreams I had for you and me
And take all that love I thought was mine
Some day your crazy arms will hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that needs to hold somebody new
While my yearning heart keeps saying "you're not mine, not mine, not mine, not mine"
My troubled mind grows blue to another you'll be wed
But now I'm so lonely all the time

Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
Currently, I'm feeling much worse than just feeling blue
That old storm brewing in this heart of mine
There's a storm of emotions stirring inside of me
Someday crazy arms will hold somebody new
In the future, I hope to find someone new who will embrace me with their loving arms
But now I'm so lonely all the time
However, right now, I'm overwhelmingly lonely throughout all times
Crazy arms that needs to hold somebody new
My arms ache for someone to hold close, someone new
While your heart keeps saying "you're not mine, not mine, not mine, not mine"
Meanwhile, your heart continues to reject my love, reinforcing that you don't belong to me
My troubled mind grows blue to another you'll be wed
My mind is troubled as I envision you marrying someone else
Now take all those precious dreams I had for you and me
All my dreams, every single one that involved us together, please take them away
And take all that love I thought was mine
Also, take every single drop of love that I naively believed was mine
Some day your crazy arms will hold somebody new
Eventually, your desperate arms will embrace someone else instead of me
But now I'm so lonely all the time
But for now, I am always terribly lonely
While my yearning heart keeps saying "you're not mine, not mine, not mine, not mine"
As I yearn for your love, my heart keeps reminding me that you're not mine, nor ever will be
My troubled mind grows blue to another you'll be wed
I cannot stop my mind from being troubled as I envision you marrying another person
But now I'm so lonely all the time
All the while, I am overwhelmingly lonely throughout all times

There is good modern music, there is bad classic oldies. I think its pretty narrow minded to think there is no good modern music
