I Guess I'm Crazy is the seventh track on Mavis Staples' first Paisley Park Records album Time Waits For No One.

While specific recording dates are not known, initial tracking for Prince's original version took place in October, 1987, at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA. Prince revised the song in late June, 1988, at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA (during the same set of sessions as recording Time Waits For No One and revising Come Home and Train).

The song was then sent (along with Time Waits For No One, Come Home and Train) to Mavis Staples in Memphis, TN, USA, where she recorded lead vocal overdubs with producers Al Bell, Homer Banks and Lester Snell at Ardent Studios.
