White Lace and Strange Lyrics

[Verse 1]
That is the way you want it
You wanted it to be the way you like it, I'm
I'm no lover
We wanted you to see it the way you wanted
It's all right

[Chorus]
I could be crazy, but I could be human
I never wanted to open your eyes
I could be crazy, but I could be human
I never wanted to open your eyes

[Verse 2]
I'm no lover
You wanted to be living up in the air, yeah
I'm no lover
But please let go of the human
That's me

[Chorus]
I could be crazy, but I could be human
I never wanted to open your eyes
I could be crazy, but I could be human
I never wanted to open your eyes
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I could be crazy, but I could be human
I never wanted to open your eyes
I could be crazy, but I could be human
I never wanted to open your eyes

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
