05.Crazy For You
Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said I'm crazy,
If I am I'm crazy for you.
Sometimes sitting in the dark wishing you were here
Turns me crazy,
But it's you who makes me lose my head.
You drift into my head
And turn me into a crumbling fool.
Tell me to run and I'll race,
If you want me to stop I'll freeze,
And if you want me gone. I'll leave, just hold me closer baby,
And make me crazy for you.
Crazy for you.
Lately with this state I'm in I can't help myself but spin.
I wish you'd come over,
Send me spinning closer to you.
My oh my, how my blood boils, it's sweet taste for you,
Strips me down bare
And gets me into my favorite mood.
I keep on trying, fighting these feelings away,
But the more I do,
The crazier I turn into.
Pacing floors and opening doors,
Hoping you'll walk through
And save me boy,
Because I'm too crazy for you.
Crazy for you

Line by Line Meaning
Found myself today singing out your name,
I realized today that I'm thinking about you constantly and can't stop singing your name.
You said I'm crazy,
You once told me that I must be crazy.
If I am I'm crazy for you.
If I am crazy, it's only because I'm so in love with you.
Sometimes sitting in the dark wishing you were here
Occasionally, I find myself sitting in darkness all alone, longing for your presence beside me.
Turns me crazy,
The feelings of not having you around start driving me insane.
But it's you who makes me lose my head.
However, it's not the darkness that makes me crazy, but the love I have for you that makes me lose myself completely.
And every time I'm meant to be acting sensible
Whenever I'm supposed to be mature and logical,
You drift into my head
Thoughts of you keep invading my mind.
And turn me into a crumbling fool.
And the mere thought of you makes me weak and foolish.
Tell me to run and I'll race,
I'm willing to run as fast as I can if you ask me to,
If you want me to stop I'll freeze,
But if you want me to stop, I'll stand still like a statue,
And if you want me gone. I'll leave, just hold me closer baby,
And if you want me to go away, I'll leave. However, if you hold me close, I'll lose myself again and be crazy for you.
And make me crazy for you.
Just be with me and drive me crazy with your love.
Lately with this state I'm in I can't help myself but spin.
Recently, my emotions have been so intense, that I feel like I'm spinning out of control.
I wish you'd come over,
I hope you'll come to me,
Send me spinning closer to you.
And make me feel even closer to you by making my head spin with happiness.
My oh my, how my blood boils, it's sweet taste for you,
Oh how excited and passionate I become at the thought of being near you,
Strips me down bare
It's as if you strip me of all defenses and make me vulnerable.
And gets me into my favorite mood.
And takes me to my favorite state of being, where I'm utterly in love with you.
I keep on trying, fighting these feelings away,
I try to fight against these overwhelming emotions,
But the more I do,
But the more I try,
The crazier I turn into.
The stronger my feelings grow and the crazier I become.
Pacing floors and opening doors,
I keep pacing back and forth, and opening and closing doors,
Hoping you'll walk through
In the hopes that you'll walk through the door and be with me.
And save me boy,
And rescue me,
Because I'm too crazy for you.
Because my love for you drives me insane, and I can't help but express it.
Crazy for you
I'm hopelessly and utterly in love with you.

Abu Bakar Abu Bakar
on Set Fire to the Rain
I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing gets better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was
The last time, the last time
Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now, when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
The last time
Oh, oh, no
Let it burn
Oh, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn
