Nuts

I went nuts. No ifs, ands or buts, I went nuts. I went crazy. Reality was hazy When I was crazy. I had a loose screw. When our love was new I lost a screw. Refrain: But now I’m back And I won’t crack. Yeah, I’m back. I was out of touch. I wanted you so much When we were out of touch. My brain went haywire. My body was on fire When my heart went haywire. My mind was not sound, On the rebound. My mind unsound. Refrain: But now I’m back. And I won’t crack. Yeah, now I’m back. I’m back, I’m back, I'm back.

Would love to hear you sing your lyrics. They're funky and serious rolled into heart chalked emotion. NOW, how to get over my want to tenderly remove the hair from Kurt's eyes, then look into them with my own eyes silently shining 'why.' I own no Nirvana, but am thoroughly drawn in whenever I see/hear him sing. Maybe someday I'll pluck his CD from a shelf next to Carole Duet's! Poetry hugs ... CayCay (ps, I realize he may be a C Curt and that DVD might be correct as opposed to CD)

Wow CayCay! I can see you liked Kurt as much as me. He was such a doll. Anyway, like I told Nette, I wish I could sing. I'm more of a dancer/poet. lol I'd love for someone to make it into a song though. Carole :D
