[English]

Maybe I'm just crazy

Maybe I'm a fool

Maybe I don't know how to love but

Maybe I do?

Maybe you know more than me but

This much is true

This little heart and brain of mine say

"We're through with you"

And I wonder, does it blow your mind

That I'm leaving you far behind?

I wonder, does it stop your heart to know

You're not my sunshine, anymore?

Okay, you're pretty

Your face is a work of art

Your smile could light up New York City after dark

Okay, you're coverboy pretty

Stamped with a beauty mark

But it's such a pity a boy so pretty

With an ugly heart

...

Maybe you'll get married

And she will kiss your feet

While I give all my rides away

I won't lose no sleep

Maybe on your honeymoon

You'll think of me

But if you don't, won't shed a tear

Yeah, I can guarantee

And I wonder, does it blow your mind

That I'm leaving you far behind?

I wonder, does it stop your heart to know

You're not my sunshine, anymore?

Okay, you're pretty

Your face is a work of art

Your smile could light up New York City after dark

Okay, you're coverboy pretty

Stamped with a beauty mark

But it's such a pity a boy so pretty

With an ugly heart

...

Okay, you're pretty

Your face is a work of art

Your smile could probably light up New York after dark

Okay, you're coverboy pretty

Stamped with a beauty mark

But it's such a pity

A boy so pretty

With an uh, an uh, an ugly heart

An uh, an uh, an ugly heart

Okay, you're pretty

Your face is a work of art

Your smile could light up New York City after dark

Okay, you're coverboy pretty

Stamped with a beauty mark

But it's such a pity a boy so pretty

With an ugly heart

Okay, you're pretty

Your face is a work of art

Your smile could light up New York City after dark

Okay, you're coverboy pretty

Stamped with a beauty mark

But it's such a pity a boy so pretty

With an ugly heart

...

Key Grammar Structures

• Maybe I'm just crazy

  ➔ Use of the adverb *maybe* to express uncertainty at the beginning of a sentence.

  ➔ The word "maybe" modifies the whole clause, showing that the speaker is not sure.

• Maybe I don't know how to love but

  ➔ Negative present simple *don't* + infinitive clause *how to + verb*.

  ➔ The negative verb "don't" shows lack of knowledge, and the phrase "how to love" uses the infinitive to express the action that is unknown.

• This little heart and brain of mine say "We're through with you"

  ➔ Possessive phrase *of mine* after a noun; quoted speech with present simple verb *say*.

  ➔ "of mine" emphasizes personal ownership, and the verb "say" is in the simple present because it reports a habitual or immediate statement.

• And I wonder, does it blow your mind

  ➔ Inverted yes‑no question without auxiliary *do* before the subject.

  ➔ The auxiliary verb "does" is placed before the subject "it" to form a direct question.

• Maybe you'll get married

  ➔ Future intention using modal *will* contracted to *you'll*.

  ➔ "you'll" = "you will"; it predicts a future event.

• I won't lose no sleep

  ➔ Double negative (*won't* + *no*) used for informal emphasis.

  ➔ "won't" is the negative of "will", and "no" adds another layer of negation, creating an informal, emphatic tone.

• If you don't, won't shed a tear

  ➔ Conditional clause with negative verb *don't*; ellipsis of the main clause verb "you".

  ➔ "If you don't" sets a condition, and "won't shed a tear" is understood as "you won't shed a tear" with the subject omitted for brevity.

• Okay, you're coverboy pretty / Stamped with a beauty mark

  ➔ Compound adjective *coverboy pretty*; participial phrase *Stamped with a beauty mark* describing the noun.

  ➔ "coverboy" functions as part of a compound adjective with "pretty", and "Stamped with a beauty mark" uses the past participle "Stamped" to give additional description.
