[Verse 1]


Friday night I

 crashed your 

party,

Saturday I said I'm sorry
              
Sunday came an

              
d trashed me o

     
ut again.
       
I was only hav

ing fun,
         
wasn't hurting

 anyone
             
and we all enj

              
oyed the weeke

           
nd for a chang

e.


[Verse 2]

           
I've been stra

nded in the co

mbat zone,

I walked through Bedford-Stuy alone
              
Even rode my m

              
otorcycle in t

    
he rain.
         
And you told m

e not to drive

,
         
but I made it 

home alive
             
So you said th

              
at only proves

            
 that I'm insa

ne.


[Chorus]

            
You may be rig

ht,
           
I may be crazy
             
But it just ma

        
y be a lunatic
           
you're looking

     
 for
              
Turn out the l


ights,
              
don't try to s


ave me
             
You may be wro

              
ng for all I k

 
now,
              
but you may be

  
 right.

[Verse 3]

   
Remember how I

 found you the

re,

alone in your electric chair
              
I told you dir

              
ty jokes until

       
 you smiled.
          
You were lonel

y for a man,
        
I said take me

 as I am
             
'Cause you mig

              
ht enjoy some 

              
madness for a 

 
while.


[Verse 4]

      
Now think of a

ll the years y

ou tried to

find someone to satisfy you
              
I might be as 

              
crazy as you s


ay.
         
If I'm crazy t

hen it's true,
           
that it's all 

because of you
             
and you wouldn

              
't want me any

       
 other way.


[Chorus]

            
You may be rig

ht,
           
I may be crazy
             
But it just ma

        
y be a lunatic
           
you're looking

     
 for
              
It's too late 

     
to fight,
              
it's too late 

      
to change
             
You may be wro

              
ng for all I k

 
now,
              
but you may be

  
 right.
