Crazy Eyes

Don McLean

(Verse 1)

I could have loved her, but she would change her mind.

I couldn't leave her 'cause when her sweet face shined

I could believe in all her dreams and lies

But I could not leave those crazy eyes.

(Verse 2)

Her clothes just suit her, there's no one cuter

But watch your step 'cause she's a real straight shooter.

She's got a string of broken hearted guys

That just could not leave those crazy eyes.

(Bridge)

Now you hear about all those guys that hang around in bars

Weepin' and moanin' about the gal that got away.

Moanin' the blues to soft guitars.

Wonderin' what time the bars gonna close and

How much longer in their lives they're gonna have to pay.

(Verse 3)

Cause someone smacks you with a thousand highs

and just attracts you, hardly even tries

That's why I know I won the sweetest prize

When I found love in those crazy eyes.

(Break same as bridge)

(Verse 4)

When someone smacks you with a thousand highs

and just attracts you, hardly even tries

That's why I know I won the sweetest prize

When I found love in those crazy eyes.

When I found love in those crazy, crazy eyes.
