Lyrics

VERSE
I can see you're upset, and you know I don't have to guess why
You set another one free; he won't come down from the tree
Lord, he's high
Well, you look too good, and your body's too fine
He thought hold you he could; now he's losin' his mind
If I had you and lost you, I'd go crazy, too

CHORUS
If I had you and lost you, I'd go crazy, too
I might act a fool, even break a few rules
There's just no tellin' what I might do
If I had you and lost you, I'd go crazy, too

VERSE
It's the price you must pay, babe, for walkin,' talkin' that way
They can't help how they feel; they need a long time to heal
Yes, they do
When you let 'em go, they don't know how to act
All they're thinkin' about is just gettin' you back
If I had you and lost you, I'd go crazy, too

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
I can see you need instruction in handling romance
I could be your instructor, given just about half a chance, oh, yeah

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
If I had you and lost you, I'd go crazy, too
