Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Lynda Carter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get around it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love

This thing (this thing)
Called love (called love)
It cries in the middle of the night
It swings, it jives
It shakes all over like a jelly fish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
He knows how to rock 'n' roll
He drives me crazy
He gives me hot and cold fever
He leaves me in a cool, cool sweat

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my tracks
Take a back seat (ah hum), hitch-hike (ah hum)
And take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love




Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
