Bill Conti & The London Symphony Orchestra Lyrics

What's it all about, this crazy love
Trying to comprehend and put into words the feelings of love, which are often difficult to understand and seem crazy.

How did our two worlds entwine
Wondering about the ways in which two different lives ended up coming together and forming a relationship.

How do I fit in to your life
Questioning how one person can fit into another person's life and whether they are important to them.

How did you get into mine
A pondering of how one person ended up in another person's life before they met.

I belong to someone else we know
Admitting to being in a relationship with another person, but still feeling drawn to this other person.

Back when first we met
Referring to the beginning of the relationship with this other person.

Oh, we thought for fun
Initially thinking that being together was just for fun and not expecting it to turn into something more serious.

One night together might be nice
Considering a casual, short-term encounter with this person.

Oh...oh...but fun turned into love for both of us
Despite initial intentions, their feelings developed into romantic love for each other.

So now we pay forbidden lover's price
Acknowledging that their love is prohibited, causing them to suffer the consequences of their actions.

Oh, ‘cause love like ours is never, ever free (Free)
Love always comes at a cost and, in their case, it is a high one.

You pay some agony for the ecstasy (For the ecstasy)
The pleasure of being in love is accompanied by the pain and suffering of being in a forbidden relationship.

Nights when you're alone, you know that I
Admitting to being unfaithful to their partner when they are apart.

Laid with someone else beside me
Sleeping with another person while still in a relationship with someone else.

Oh, but you love me still and I love you
Despite their infidelity, their love for each other remains strong.

You know I would no matter where I'd be
Regardless of their circumstances, they would still love each other.

We got to pay some agony if we wanna have ecstasy (For the ecstasy), oh...
Once again, emphasizing the cost of their relationship, and that it is worth it for the happiness that comes with love.

We need each other desperately, don't we, baby
Affirming that their love for each other is strong and essential to their happiness.

And I'll never from you be free, no, no
Knowing that they will always be drawn to this other person, no matter what happens in the future.

So you'll have to do the leavin' me, yeah
Acknowledging that the other person will need to end the relationship, since they are not the one in a committed partnership.

'Cause I'm gonna pay the agony, yeah
Accepting that they will suffer the consequences of their actions because they cannot let go of their forbidden love.

'Cause, oh, lovin' you is ecstasy, that's what it is
Their love is the most intense feeling of happiness and pleasure they have ever experienced.

And I'm willin' to pay the price, oh
Being willing to suffer the consequences for the joy and happiness of being in love.

'Cause I'll make it a sacrifice, oh, yes, I will
Treating the pain they must endure like a sacrifice made in order to continue loving the other person.

And I'll never, never, never, never, never, never, never be free from agony
Knowing that the pain they must endure will never go away, regardless of what they do or what happens in the future.
