"There’s the Monroe Doctrine and then there’s Cherry Monroe’s doctrine. While the first was conceived back in the day by a bunch of old guys wearing white wigs and petticoats (whatever the hell those are), the latter was invented by five young guys from Youngstown, Ohio and Pittsburgh, PA, who specialize in glammed-up riffs, memorable choruses and eye-catching good looks. Their Rust/Universal Records debut, INSERT HERE, is a tuneful collection of soon-to-be-anthems that gleefully reminds the listener how much fun rock ‘n’ roll is supposed to be." http://www.umrg.com/artist.aspx?aid=466

**In July 2006, it was confirmed that vocalist Matt Toka left the band. A replacement vocalist has yet to be announced.**

Crazy Love
Cherry Monroe Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are sweet, like honey
But you cut me like a knife
This bittersweet poison ain't healthy
And I feel like I'm dying (I'm dying)

Hey, it's a shame to see you cry with weeping eyes
The pain in letting go, my crazy love has done me wrong

Well, I guess we had our doubts
My shooting star in the sky
I miss you, I want you, I need you now
My love for you will never die (never)

Hey, it's a shame to see you cry with weeping eyes
The pain in letting go, my crazy love has done me wrong, yes and
Hey, it's a shame to see you cry with weeping eyes
The pain in letting go, my crazy love has done me wrong
My crazy love has done me wrong
My crazy love
My crazy love

My crazy love
My crazy love

The lyrics to Cherry Monroe's song Crazy Love talk about the conflicting feelings the singer has towards their lover. The first line of the song says, "You are sweet, like honey but you cut me like a knife," which expresses how the singer feels torn about the love they have for their partner. It's sweet on one hand, but can be painfully hurtful on the other. The next line, "This bittersweet poison ain't healthy and I feel like I'm dying," furthers this idea, suggesting that being in love with someone who hurts you is a toxic and dangerous situation.

In the chorus, the singer acknowledges the difficulty of letting go of this love. They say, "Hey, it's a shame to see you cry with weeping eyes. The pain in letting go, my crazy love has done me wrong." This implies that the ending of the relationship is due to the intensity and erratic nature of the love they shared, and that it's not a simple decision to make. The final lines of the song repeat the phrase "My crazy love" several times, emphasizing the madness and unpredictability of their emotions.

Overall, the lyrics to Crazy Love are about the complexity of love and how it can be both wonderful and painful at the same time. The singer is grappling with the intense emotions they feel towards their partner, acknowledging that despite the hurt the love has caused them, they still find it hard to let go.
