Lyrics[]
People say I'm crazy I'm just a fool Well, I'm the pigeon And baby, you're the stool Always loved your colored hair Always loved the clothes you wear I can say that you turn me on Why not stay all night long Take it easy On yourself Take it easy There ain't no one else Don't give me reasons And I won't ask for nothing Rich girls may run after me Break my heart You know I fall in love so easily Always loved your colored hair Always loved the clothes you wear I can say that you turn me on Why not stay all night long
