Crazy Mixed-Up Girl - Thelma Houston

Gonna let you go, my angel

Though I could make you stay

I could use my blinds of pity

To throw it in your way

But the times have time between us

And you know I don’t believe

That it makes one bit of difference

If you stay or if you leave

Why can’t I be lonely, like that lonely Russian river

That’s pushing down the mountain on its way to meet the sea

Why can’t I meet someone, like that river meets the ocean

Why did you have to get so mixed-up, baby

With a mixed-up girl, with a mixed-up girl like me

Gonna make it short now, angel

Though I could make it long

I could take you through all the changes

And show you, where you’re wrong

But our dreams don’t flow together

And you’ll never, never see the light

So it really doesn’t matter

Who is wrong, or who is right

Oh, why can’t I be lonely, like that lonely Russian river

Oh, that’s pushing down the mountain on its way to meet the sea

Why, why can’t I meet someone, like that river meets that ocean

Oh, why did you have to get so mixed-up, baby

With a mixed-up girl, with a mixed-up girl like me
