[Verse 1]
You came home from school today and put your hands up
Said, "I'm done with that place"
Screamin' out, no one never understands ya
Tears streaming down your face, ooh
When a fire burns, it's bright as the one inside, yeah
It can be a little much, yeah, yeah
So many people don't know how to act around ya
And I know that must be rough
[Pre-Chorus]
And the world will try to change you
Try to make you fit the frame
But your heart is wild
And wild hearts should not be tamed, so
[Chorus]
Hey, little sister, don't be careful what you wish for
Hey, little sister, keep chasing
Hey, little sister, don't you let 'em try to fix ya
Hey, little sister, stay crazy
Crazy as you are
So stay as crazy as you are
I know it's gonna take you far
I love you crazy as you are, are, are
[Verse 2]
I know sometimes it's warfare when we argue
Slamming doors and calling names (Calling names)
And I know, and I know what to tell you, that I'm sorry but it's hard to (Hard to)
We're so proud and such ashamed (Such ashamed)
[Pre-Chorus]
And the world will try to change you
Try to make you fit the frame
But your heart is wild
And wild hearts should not be tamed, so
[Chorus]
Hey, little sister, don't be careful what you wish for
Hey, little sister, keep chasing (Chasing your dreams)
Hey, little sister, don't you let 'em try to fix ya
Hey, little sister, stay crazy
Crazy as you are
So stay as crazy as you are
I know it's gonna take you far
I love you crazy as you are, are, are
[Bridge]
So when you need to think twice
Just remember my advice
And you're gonna be alright in this world
[Chorus]
Hey, little sister, don't be careful what you wish for
Hey, little sister, keep chasing (Chasing your dreams)
Hey, little sister, don't you let 'em try to fix ya
Hey, little sister, stay crazy
Crazy as you are
So stay as crazy as you are
I know it's gonna take you far
I love you crazy as you are, are, are
