I Go Crazy
Downing Will Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guess you'll be glad to know
That I've learned how to laugh and smile
Getting over you was slow
They say old lovers can be good friends
But I never thought I'd really see you,
I'd really see you again
I go crazy
When I look in your eyes I still go crazy
No my heart just can't hide that old feeling inside
Way deep down inside
Oh baby, you know when I look in your eyes I go crazy
You say he satisfies your mind
Tells you all of his dreams
I know how much that means to you
I realize that I was blind
Just when I thought I was over you
I see your face and it just ain't true
No it just ain't true
I go crazy
When I look in your eyes I still go crazy
That old flame comes alive, it starts burning inside
Way deep down inside
Oh baby, you know when I look in your eyes I go crazy
Oh, oh oh, Oh
I go crazy
You know when I look in your eyes I go crazy
No my heart just can't hide that old feeling inside
Way deep down inside
I go crazy
The song "I Go Crazy" by Downing Will is about a past love who has come back into his life. The lyrics first discuss how he has learned to move on from the past relationship and is now able to laugh and smile again. However, upon seeing his past love again, he realizes that he still has deep-rooted feelings for her. This realization causes him to "go crazy" and lose control of his emotions. Even though she is with someone else, he still feels the strong pull towards her.
In the chorus, he continues to express how looking into her eyes makes him feel like he's losing his mind. The old feelings come flooding back and he is unable to control them. He knows that he should be over her, but his heart just can't hide the love that he still has for her deep down inside.
This song captures the feeling of a love that refuses to die and reminds the listener that sometimes old flames can still come alive. It conveys the difficulty of truly moving on from a past relationship and the unexpected emotions that can arise when encountering a past love once again.

TORN! Paul Davis original has been near and dear to me since I was a child! Will Downing sings this spectacularly! Never heard of him until today! Reminds me of Luther Vandross!

Will did an admirable cover to this Paul Davis classic, I think I still prefer Paul but I’ll listen to this too!
