  • I took my baby dancing, to see a heavy band
    But I never saw my baby till the encore
    She had the singer by the hand
    I didn't want to cry 'cause I had to be cool
    I didn't want to tell you that you're much too cruel
    Did you have to run off with that doggone fool?

    [Chorus]
    All I gotta do is think about you
    Every night and day I go crazy
    All I gotta do is get my hands on you
    You better stay away from me, baby

    I wouldn't mind the postman if the neighbors didn't know
    Or the gas man, electric man, man to fix the car
    I'd have to let it go
    But you had to bring me down for a rock 'n roll clone
    Leave me like a sucker standing all alone
    Did you have to run off with that rolling stone?
    Go ahead, fool

    [Chorus]

    So I ain't gonna go and see the Rolling Stones no more
    I don't want to go and see Queen no more, no more
    I ain't gonna go and see the Rolling Stones no more
    I don't want to go and see Queen no more, no more

    Now, I don't want to hurt you like you been a-hurting me
    But you know I'll be watchin'
    Rolling on the floor next time you're on TV
    Had enough of your pretending that you know where it's at
    Coming on to all the boys like a real spoiled brat
    To think I nearly let you get away with all that
    No way, man

    [Chorus]

    Oh, you'd better stay away from me, baby
    Baby, baby, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy Writer/s: BRIAN MAY

  • Steve from Hockessin, , DeThe best song to come out of The Works sessions. It should have been played on tour.
  • Jfv from Philadelphia, PaThis song was the B-side to the single Radio Gaga. It was written by Brian May around the time of the band's writing and recording of its 1984 album, The Works. It later appeared as a bonus track on the 1991 release of the CD version of The Works. In addition to Freddie Mercury's usual lead vocals, Brian May provides the lead vocals on the bridge portion of the song. The song concludes with Roger Taylor and Mercury alternating vocals on the word "crazy". It has a noticeably less polished sound than most Queen recordings, creating more of a raw, stripped down feel to it. (March 2011)
  • Joe from , MoThis is a great rocker!
