“What CD is this Darin song on?”

      Call me irresponsible
      Call me unreliable
      Throw in undependable, too.

      Do my foolish alibis bore you?
      Well, I'm not too clever
      I just adore you.

      Call me unpredictable
      Tell me I'm impractical
      Rainbows, I'm inclined to pursue.

      Call me irresponsible
      Yes, I'm unreliable
      But it's undeniably true
      That I'm irresponsibly mad for you.

      Go on and call me unpredictable
      Tell me that I'm impractical
      Rainbows, I'm inclined to pursue.

      You go ahead call me irresponsible
      I admit I'm unreliable
      But it is undeniably true
      That I'm irresponsibly mad for you.
