And your hands are really shakin something awful
As you light your 27th cigarette
Oh how long have you been sittin in the darkness
You forget
Oh you know you're gettin really hard to be with
And you're cryin every time you turn around
And you wonder why you can not pick your head up
Off the ground
Oh my crazy baby
Try to hold on tight
Oh my crazy baby
Don't put out the light, the light,
the light, the light
And they look at you like they don't speak your language
And you're living at the bottom of a well
And you swallowed all the awful bloody secrets
That you can't tell
Oh you know you ought to get yourself together
But you can not bear to walk outside your door
No, you can not bear to look into the mirror
Anymore, anymore
Oh my crazy baby
Try to hold on tight
Oh my crazy baby
Don't put out the light, the light,
the light, the light
And your hands are really shakin something awful
As your worries crawl around inside your clothes
Ooh how long will you be sittin in the darkness
Heaven knows
Oh my crazy baby
Try to hold on tight
Oh my crazy baby
Don't put out the light, the light,
the light, the light, the light,
the light, the light, the light,
the light, the light

| CrazyOldGeek (Austin, TX) | Posted: Nov 08, 2010 - 09:54 I can't listen to Fiona Apple because she is ALWAYS off pitch. Joan bends the notes on purpose and her emotional pitch is perfect. |
| frank-peter (Siegen / Germany) | Posted: Nov 08, 2010 - 09:14 My favourite song!!!  |

| garycha (Bristol, UK) | Posted: Jun 02, 2010 - 03:34 Love it. But it is more of a late night track, rather than a sunny morning toon. |

| plaice3 | Posted: Jan 26, 2010 - 17:24 This is a heart-breaker ... but so beautifully sung. |

| oneguy (Stratford, ON, Canada) | Posted: Oct 24, 2009 - 11:30 I detest autotuning, but something needs to be done for Joan's flat vocals on this one..... |
| hippiechick (topsy turvy land) | Posted: Oct 24, 2009 - 11:27 I really enjoy listening to this album. |
| lattalo (Beartooths) | Posted: Sep 22, 2009 - 21:43 A must have for any music collection. She has an amazing voice and her song writing in wonderful! |

| ri_shelton (A few clicks up the river) | Posted: Oct 23, 2007 - 19:22 This song has a near-perfect rhythm section, lead guitar, and vocals. Who could ask for more? (Well, maybe the melody...) |
| handyrae (Zero Point Field) | Posted: Oct 08, 2007 - 07:00 Wow, I was about to give it at least a 7 when I saw I'd already rated it with a 2. Must be one of those songs that you have to be in the mood to appreciate. |

| E_A_D_G (DC) | Posted: Sep 22, 2007 - 10:27 That feral growl thing. Cool Joan has some amazing chops better suited to other material. Her contributions to "Standing In The Shadows Of Motown" are exceptional. |

I heartily disagree. The manner in which she wraps her voice around various notes and bends them ... she is First Class in my book. In concert (Lilith Fair, etc, she has the most incredible stage presence. And yes her band is most excellent. |

I agree. This is a fine collection of tunes. Joan's got a great voice. |
