Lyrics

Mama always said, "Do your thinkin' with your head.
Stand tall, don't fall for snares and fantasies.
Look for a heart that's real, one that shows you how she feels:
Beware the lure of pride and vanity."

Don't give your heart to no one crazier than you,
You'll tear yourself apart if you do.
Don't take her to wife, if you can't make a life
On common ground, just you two.
Don't give your heart to one crazier than you.

Didn't heed her words, got no more than I deserved,
Chasin' the exotic, I didnt think twice,
Battered in heart, lookin' for a brand new start,
I remembered her wise advice,

Don't give your heart to no one crazier than you,
You'll tear yourself apart if you do.
Don't take her to wife, if you can't make a life
On common ground, just you two.
Don't give your heart to one crazier than you. © 2023 Tres Seaver
