Lyrics[]
Been getting high on my own in my Los Angeles home
I feel bad about it
Got rid of all of my friends, I'm cutting all my loose ends
I feel bad about it
But I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
I've gone crazy for you
Crazy for you, crazy for you
I've gone crazy for you
Crazy for you, crazy for you
Well, I been thinking 'bout you, but I wake up next to him
I feel bad about it
I feel like quitting my job, making this whole party end
I feel bad about it
But I can't stop cutting loose
(What you gonna do? What you gonna do?)
(What you wanna do? What you wanna do?)
No, I can't stop cutting loose
(What you gonna do? What you gonna do?)
(What you wanna do? Ohh)
I've gone crazy for you
Crazy for you, crazy for you
I've gone crazy for you
Crazy for you, crazy for you
There are angels in the sky
Who am I? Who am I?
There are violets in your eyes
Lie-la-ie, lie-la-lie
Well, I been dreaming about you, but I been singing wit' him
I feel bad about it
Been trying all my new clothes to go out dancing
I feel bad about it
But I can't stop loving you
(What you gonna do? What you gonna do?)
(What you wanna do? What you wanna do?)
No, I can't stop loving you
(What you gonna do? What you gonna do?)
(What you wanna do? Ohh)
I've gone crazy for you
Crazy for you, crazy for you
I've gone crazy for you
Crazy for you, crazy for you
I've gone crazy for you
