You’re a nice girl
She’s not a nice girl
You wear blue jeans
She wears sequins
You’re a woman inside
She’s a bad child
So why am I crazy for her?
Why am I crazy for her?

You make breakfast
She makes trouble
You like candy
She likes danger
You offer sweet things
She offers madness
So why am I crazy for her?
Why am I crazy for her?

What’s the thing about darkness?
What’s the thing about sadness?
What’s the thing about pain and heartache
Misery, fear and desperation?
What’s wrong with comfort
And a little serenity
Must I always run to the wrong side
For every little spark of creation

You’re a nice girl
She’s not a nice girl
You’d try to understand her
She’d slit your throat if she could
You’re a diamond
She’s like gravel
So why am I crazy for her?
Why am I crazy for her?
