MADNESS
Kelly Clarkson & Anika Noni Rose

Uh
Uh, Yeah

Honey, I can tell by the wanderin look in your eye
You're just a little boy with about just about a thousand lies
And the girl you say is always on your mind
You just sit and watch
Her walk out of your life

(Well you talk) of love, (but your) talk is cheap
(And you) Change your mind (like you) change your sheets (and me)
Y'all doing things that I don't like (and still) it aint right.
Well it must be the madness

Must be the madness and the magic that I feel inside
Must be the music and the rhythm playin' with my mind
Must be the chemistry, you and me, that I can't deny
I wanna tell you I love you, love you, love you but I can't decide

A buh, A buh
A bum dig it
A buh, A buh
A bum dig it
A buh, A buh
A bum dig it, dig it, dig it

It's funny you can tell by the way I use my words
I'm all fed up and it's so absurd...
That the whole wide world can see what you've done
I'm just a simple girl, Yeah I'm the one you want

Well, I'm talkin' love('cause), Talk is free (And)
Your too young to handle me
So, I'm lookin' for a whole new vibe
(And still) You look right
Well, it must be the madness

Must be the madness and the magic that I feel inside (oh must be the music)
Must be the music and the rhythm playin with my mind
Must be the chemistry, you and me, that I can't deny
I wanna tell you I love you love you love you, but I can't decide

A buh, A buh
A bum dig it
A buh, A buh
A bum dig it
A buh, A buh
A bum dig it, dig it, dig it
Yeah

A buh, A buh
A bum dig it
A buh, A buh
A bum dig it
A buh, A buh
A bum dig it, dig it, dig it
Yeah, Yeah,Yeah

Well, it must be the madness
Must be the madness and the magic that I feel inside (I feel inside)
Must be the music and the rhythm playin' with my mind




Must be the chemistry, you and me, that I can't deny
I wanna tell you I love you, love you, love you, but I can't decide

I'm talking about love because it's easy to say, but you're not mature enough to understand it. I need something new in my life because you're not giving me what I need. However, there's something inexplicably attractive about you that makes me confused.


Must be the madness and the magic that I feel inside (oh must be the music) Must be the music and the rhythm playin with my mind Must be the chemistry, you and me, that I can't deny I wanna tell you I love you love you love you, but I can't decide
