People tell me, boy you're crazy
Some people say that I'm nuts
For trying to get back together with you baby
They say that once is enough

I should never have left you cause now I need you
Sometimes it happens that way
I come back like a fool who's believing
No matter what they might say

I don't want to hear another word
Don't need your well thought out advice
Though I thank you all for being kind
I can make mistakes myself just fine

I've got a good friend who knows my trouble
he thinks I'm wasting my time
He said go out and have some fun she's not the only one
But I can't leave her behind

So, I don't want to hear another word
Don't need your well thought out advice
Though I thank you all for being kind
I can make mistakes myself just fine
