Doria Roberts - Crazy Like Me lyrics

"what’s the difference anyway?" I heard this old man say He said, "been sitting here for 25 years" Still nothing’s changed" So i looked this man in the eye I said, "mister please don’t you cry" "because you’re tears will fall but no one will care" The price you pay remains a debt Eyes you dry stay wet You begin to regret promises kept And the only reward is that you get to be Crazy like me He laughed and said "little girl, you’ve got nothing on me "’cause i’ve seen the world thrice over I’m not impressed." So i took this man by the hand I needed him to comprehend Though my life’s been short my pain’s been long And the price i pay remains a debt Eyes i’ve dried have stayed wet I begin to regret promises kept And the only reward is that i get to be Crazy like me I saw a rain cloud form over his head So ashamed at what i had done I disturbed this man’s peace of mind He looked upset But the he stood straight up and looked at me He said, "i can’t believe what you said "you see, ‘cause you sound a lot like me." Okay, so now the price you’ve paid has been written down The tears you’ve cried have touched the ground And though all you’ve lost can never be found If you’re not careful you won’t be around to be Crazy like me
