This is a story of mind, soul and heart
Come to think of it, don't know where to start
I'd take it from the top but we don't have that much time
So I'm breakin' off a piece of this crazy life of mine

As a little girl, I had a stubborn mind
Bonnie and me were wild most of the time
I used to sing for mama's company
I guess that was the start of the woman I came to be

Sometimes young, yet so old
Warm to the touch, intellectually cold
I love the how and why of it
Thank God, the pieces seem to fit
Pieces seem to fit in this crazy life of mine

Never will forget from whence I came
I have some regrets but I made myself a name
Two times a mother and as many times wed
Tough times were around me but better times ahead

If your heart can handle these words I've said
I see you and me in this crazy life of mine
Mine
Gotcha
