Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make me want to be with you
You rave on, it's a crazy feelin'
I know, she's got me reelin'
When you say I love you, rave on
The way you dance and hold me tight
The way you kiss when we say goodnight
Rave on, it's a crazy feeling
And I, I know it's got me reelin'
When you say I love you, rave on
Rave on, it's a crazy feeling
And I, I know its got me reelin'
I'm so glad that you're revealing your love for me
Rave on, rave on, tell me, tell me not to be lonely
Tell me, you love me only, rave on to me
Oh, oh, rave on, it's a crazy feeling
And I, I know its got me reelin'
I'm so glad that you're revealin' your love for me
Oh, rave on, rave on, tell me, tell me not to be lonely
Tell me, you love me only, rave on to me

And I know, she's got me reelin'
When you say I love you, rave on
Oh, rave on, it's a crazy feeling

I'm so glad that you're revealin' your love for me
Rave on, rave on, tell me, tell me not to be lonely
Tell me, you love me only, rave on to me
