CRAZY LIFE ALBUM

Friends, my objective here and with all the Vannelli charts
I have submitted is to have posted an accurate transcription
of his music for all of us to enjoy. If anyone feels they have a
better chord, note, passage, lyric--please feel
free to contact me at the Email address below,
and the necessary changes will be made! Since I am
a member of this site, it is possible for me to edit
 any of these charts.

Talk about my birds and bees and babies I've known
I've never cared for free's for three's let's do it alone
I'm a one woman lover I'm a gentleman
I don't need no other cause it's that I am
Darlin' my dear let us reant one night for two
Ooooo yea.
