Crazy ArmsJerry Lee Lewis

Released: December 1, 1956

Songwriter: Chuck Seals Ralph Mooney

Producer: Sam Phillips (Producer) Jack Clement

Now, blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
An ol' storm's brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream, I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now, you're not mine

You've got crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
While my yearning heart keeps saying "you're not mine"
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be a-wed
Hey, girl, that's why I'm so lonely all the time

You can take all those precious dreams I had just for you and me
Honey take all the love I thought was mine
Someday your crazy arms will hold somebody new
But now, 'Killer's gettin' lonesome all the time

You've got crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
While my yearning heart keeps saying "you're not mine"
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
Hey, that's why I'm so lonely all the time

Hey, that's why I'm so lonely all the time

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
