Madness
Billy & The Dukes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's all I'm thinking of;
And now you call it madness,
But I call it love.
You made a promise to be faithful
By all the stars above;
And now you call it madness,
I still call it love.
For you constantly.
You're all I'm needing, And so I'm pleading,
"Please come back to me!"
You made a plaything out of romance!
What do you know of love?
That's why you call it madness,
But I call it love.
