Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals

The narrator celebrates a beloved whose unpredictability fills everyday life with butterflies, rooftop dancing and improbable flights. His affectionate amazement gradually widens into a street gathering where everyone seems caught up in the energy. What he wants is more than a passing summer romance: someone to keep running beside him.

CRAZY LITTLE GIRL

You're a Crazy Little Girl
And I don't know what you're gonna do
You're my Crazy Little Girl
Can you really turn your Green Eyes Blue?
A friend of mine said yesterday
There's nothin’ that you can’t do
You’re my Crazy Little Girl
And I'm Over the Moon in Love with you

CHORUS:
Crazy ~~~ Crazy Little Girl
Always  a ways from everywhere
Lazy days away without a care
I think, crazy baby, that we're gettin’ somewhere
Crazy ~~~ Crazy Little Girl
There's a little corner of my world
Where you're gonna fit right down inside
I'm gonna take you for a hell of a ride

BRIDGE:
You're my Crazy Little Girl
I don't know what I'd do without you
Cr-cray-cray-Crazy Little Girl
I got you spinnin’ around my world
When you fly down from the sky
There's no reason to ask why
Learn to run before you crawl
And don't ever forget how to fly

Is your Life a Kaleidoscope of Butterflies?
I can see the Love and Hope that's in your eyes
Run with me Forever now until we fall
In Love with you and me and  one and all
Not another Summer lover in the early Fall
At the Riverside together by the Old Stone Wall
Not another season to go back to School
I can’t find a reason not to act just like a fool

Such a Crazy Little Girl, a little bit like a White Gypsy Moth
Dancin’ on the Rooftops, she got me takin’ up the cloth
Set my Heart on fire and some old lady calls the cops
Hoots and hollers everywhere, baby, please don't stop
Come on, everybody, gonna Rock it till we drop
People dancin’ everywhere, Just Right out in the street
Man, I'm fallin’ over cuz I've had so much to eat
Come on Crazy Little Girl, it ain't time to go to sleep!
