Crazy In Love
Beyonce Knowles & Jay-Z Lyrics

Yes (whoo, ow)
An expression of excitement to start the song

It's so crazy right now
Things are intense and unpredictable in the current situation

Most incredibly, it's ya girl, B (yes)
Beyonce is introducing herself in a playful way

It's ya boy, Young
Jay-Z is introducing himself in a cool and confident manner

You ready?
Beyonce and Jay-Z are asking their listeners if they are ready to hear their song

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no (ow)
A fun and catchy hook that represents the excitement and craziness of the song

History in the making
Beyonce and Jay-Z are acknowledging the significance of their collaboration and the impact it will have

Part two, it's so crazy right now
This is the second part of the song, and things are still just as intense and unpredictable

I look and stare so deep in your eyes
Beyonce is emphasizing her fondness and admiration for her partner

I touch on you more and more every time
Beyonce is becoming increasingly attached to her partner the more they spend time together

When you leave, I'm begging you not to go
Beyonce doesn't want her partner to leave and is expressing her desire for them to stay

Call your name two, three times in a row
Beyonce is anxiously calling out for her partner to make sure they hear her and don't leave

Such a funny thing for me to try to explain
Beyonce finds it difficult to put her feelings into words

How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame
Beyonce's pride is preventing her from fully expressing her emotions to her partner

(Yeah, yeah) 'cause I know I don't understand
Beyonce is acknowledging that she may not fully comprehend the depth of her feelings

Just how your love can do what no one else can
Beyonce is recognizing the unique and powerful nature of her partner's love

Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Beyonce's partner's love is making her feel wild and unpredictable

Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss
Beyonce is still holding onto the hope that her partner will show her affection and attention

Looking so crazy, your love's
Beyonce's partner's love is responsible for her insanity

When I talk to my friends so quietly
Beyonce is being secretive about her relationship with her friends

Who he think he is? Look at what you did to me
Beyonce's friends are wondering how her partner has taken such a hold on her

Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress
Beyonce is uninterested in impressing anyone other than her partner and is content with casual attire

If you ain't there, ain't nobody else to impress
Beyonce's partner is the only person she cares about impressing or being around

It's the way that you know what I thought I knew
Beyonce's partner is teaching her new things and challenging her previous beliefs

It's the beat that my heart skips when I'm with you
Beyonce's partner makes her feel excited and nervous at the same time

But I still don't understand
Beyonce is still grappling with her complicated emotions

Young 'Hov, y'all know when the flow is loco
Jay-Z is hyping himself up and his rap skills

Young B and the R-O-C, uh oh (oh)
Jay-Z and Beyonce are representing their collaboration as a powerful duo

Ol' G, big homey, the one and only
Jay-Z is referring to himself as an experienced and respected figure in the music industry

Stick bony, but the pocket is fat like Tony Soprano (oh no)
Jay-Z's physical appearance is misleading, as he has great financial success

The ROC handle like Van Axel
Jay-Z's business is run as effectively and smoothly as when Van Axel handles cars

I shake phonies, man, you can't get next to
Jay-Z is confident in his ability to spot and avoid fake people

The genuine article, I do not sing though
Jay-Z is proud of his authenticity and rap skills, as opposed to singing

I sling though, if anything, I bling yo
Jay-Z's main income comes from selling drugs, but he also shows off his wealth with flashy jewelry

A star like Ringo, war like a Green Beret
Jay-Z is comparing his fame to that of Ringo Starr's and his toughness to a Green Beret

Crazy bring ya whole set
Jay-Z's craziness is likely to excite and energize an entire group of people

Jay Z in the Range, crazy and deranged
Jay-Z is acting recklessly in his expensive Range Rover

They can't figure him out, they like, "Hey, is he insane?"
People are confused by Jay-Z's behavior and appearing mentally unstable

Yessir, I'm cut from a different cloth
Jay-Z is unique and different from other rappers

My texture is the best fur, chinchilla
Jay-Z's style and flow are the highest quality, akin to luxurious chinchilla fur

(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no) I been iller than chain smokers
Jay-Z has been more impressive and successful in his career than even those who are notorious for addiction

How you think I got the name Hova?
Jay-Z is boasting that he is so great, he's like a god of rap, hence the nickname Hova

(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no) I been realer, the game's over
Jay-Z has been more authentic and real than his competition and has already won the game

(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no) fall back, Young, ever since I made the change over
Jay-Z is telling his competition to back off now that he has changed and improved his sound

(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no) to platinum the game's been wrap, one
Jay-Z has reached such high levels of success that the game has come to a close

Got me looking so crazy, my baby
Beyonce is admitting that her partner's love makes her feel insane

I'm not myself, lately I'm foolish, I don't do this
Beyonce is acting differently than her usual self, behaving impulsively and recklessly

I've been playing myself, baby, I don't care
Beyonce is admitting that she's made mistakes in her relationship, but doesn't really mind because of her love for her partner

'Cause your love's got the best of me
Beyonce's partner's love has fully taken control of her emotions

And, baby, you're making a fool of me
Beyonce's partner has made her do things that might be considered embarrassing or foolish

You got me sprung and I don't care who sees
Beyonce is under the complete influence of her partner and is no longer concerned with what others think of her

'Cause, baby, you got me
Beyonce's partner has won her over completely with their love and affection

Looking so crazy in love's
Beyonce is losing control to her love for her partner

Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love (whoa)
Beyonce's partner has made her feel so crazy, she doesn't even recognize herself anymore
