Call Me Irresponsible - Remastered Album Version Lyrics
Frank Sinatra
Lyrics
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
I'm irresponsibly mad for you
Call me irresponsible, yes, I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true
I'm irresponsibly mad for you

Frank Sinatra's "Call Me Irresponsible" is a classic song from his 1963 album of the same name. The song was written by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, two prolific American songwriters who worked with Sinatra on many of his hits.
It was released in May of that year as a single and later included on his Reprise Records compilation album, The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings. The song features Frank Sinatra backed by Nelson Riddle's orchestra. His smooth crooning over the band's lush instrumentation creates an unforgettable soundscape. The lyrics are about a man taking responsibility for his actions while also refusing to accept blame. This timeless track has been remastered and re-released multiple times since its original release date.
