I’M CRAZY TO LOVE YOU

(Larry Marino / Kay & Susan Werner)

Lyrics as recorded by Sarah Vaughan (Joe Lippman & Orchestra) 
Dec 21 1949 New York City.

I'm crazy to love you
Crazy to care like I do
When obviously you've been treating me
The same as the others you knew.

I don't really blame you
Much as I'm blaming myself
For starting with you when I always knew
I'd end up right back on the shelf.

I should have known you'd never love me
Much less love anyone at all
I should have known you'd place yourself above me
The minute you made me fall.

I wish I could shove you
Out of my heart, but I won't
Though I'm crazy to love you
I'll go crazy if I don't.

(bridge)

I wish I could shove you
Out of my heart, but I won't
Through I'm crazy to love you
I'll go crazy, crazy, crazy over you.

NOTES:

Sarah Vaughn, an American jazz singer  who performed 
professionally from 1945 to 1990, was nicknamed ‘Sassy’ 
because of her rather informal speech and manner.
The NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) Jazz Masters 
bestowed it’s highest award on her in 1989.
