Crazy Feelings
Beyoncé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's what it was when I met you
In love
And no one could ever talk about you
But it sucks, so many lies and alibis
I love
Crazy feelings
In love with you
Crazy feelings (Crazy)
Make me stay (Make me stay)
In love with you
So in love
I just didn't see the wrong you did
In love
But now that I know I can admit
It was love
That made me a fool, a silly fool
In love, oh, crazy
Crazy feelings
Make me stay (Make me stay)
In love with you (You, you)
Crazy feelings
Make me stay
In love with you
You was always in my face
All the time
Even with 20/20 vision
I couldn't see you lie
You was always in my face (In my face)
All the time (All the time)
Even with 20/20 vision (20/20 vision)
I couldn't see you lie
Crazy feelings (Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy)
Make me stay (Make me stay)
In love with you (In love with you, you, you, you)
Crazy feelings
Make me stay
In love with you (With you, with you, you, you, you)
Crazy feelings (Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy feelings)
Make me stay (Make me stay)
In love with you
Crazy feelings (Crazy, crazy,crazy)
Make me stay (Make me stay, stay, stay)
In love with you (You, you, you, you)
In Beyoncé's song "Crazy Feelings," she talks about her experience of falling in love and how she didn't see the wrongdoings of her partner at that time. She says that she was so in love with him that she couldn't see any of the lies or alibis surrounding him. Despite all that, she admits that the crazy feelings that she had for him made her stay and remain in love with him. She acknowledges that it was foolish of her to let her love blind her to the truth, but she couldn't help it.
The chorus of the song, "Crazy feelings make me stay in love with you," is a reflection of her experiences. Even though she knows that the relationship was not healthy, her feelings for him compel her to stay. Beyoncé also points out that the guy was always in her face, and even with 20/20 vision, she couldn't see him lie. This line implies that the guy was always up to something, but Beyoncé was blind to it because of her feelings towards him.
Overall, "Crazy Feelings" is a song about the powerful hold that love can have over a person, even when it's not entirely reasonable. It's a reminder that love can be a double-edged sword, bringing feelings of happiness and euphoria while also creating heartbreak and chaos.
