Crazy For You
Madonna (Ciccone) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swaying room as the music starts
Strangers making the most of the dark
Two by two their bodies become one

I see you through the smokey air
Can't you feel the weight of my stare
You're so close but still a world away
What I'm dying to say, is that

I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you

Trying hard to control my heart
I walk over to where you are
Eye to eye we meet, no words at all

Slowly now we begin to move
Every breath I'm deeper into you
Soon we two are standing still in time
If you read my mind, you'll see

I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
You'll feel it in my kiss because
I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you
Crazy for you
Crazy for you
Crazy for you
It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you
And you know it's true, I'm crazy, crazy for you




It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you
And you know it's true, yeah, I'm crazy for you

Overall Meaning

“Crazy for You” is a sensual and romantic love song sung by Madonna. The song, released in 1985, reached no. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and also performed well internationally. The song was written by John Bettis and Jon Lind for the film “Vision Quest”. The lyrics of the song are emotional and depict the physical and emotional attraction between two people. The song begins with the sway of the music in the air and strangers making the most of the dark. Then, the lyrics move to the desire for closeness as two people meld into one. Madonna sees her lover through the smokey air and although they are close, she feels as though they are a world away. The refrain of the song, “I’m crazy for you,” reveals the depth of her passion for her lover.


The second verse of the song is evocative of the initial stages of a new romantic relationship, where one tries to control their heart and their feelings, but they cannot help but gravitate towards the object of their affection. When they meet, there are no words needed – they can communicate through their eyes. The song builds up to a passionate ending, where both the lovers stand still, fully entwined with each other in time. The final chorus, sung multiple times, underscores the newness of this incredible feeling within Madonna.

[Verse 1]
Swaying room, as the music starts
Strangers making the most of the dark
Two by two, their bodies become one
I see you through the smokey air
Can't you feel the weight of my stare?
You're so close but still a world away
What I'm dying to say, is that

[Chorus]
I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new
You'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you
Crazy for you

[Verse 2]
Trying hard to control my heart
I walk over to where you are
Eye to eye we need no words at all
Slowly now, we begin to move
Every breath I'm deeper into you
Soon we two are standing still in time
If you read my mind, you'll see

[Chorus]
I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new
You'll feel it in my kiss
You'll feel it in my kiss
Because I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new
You'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you
Crazy for you
Crazy for you
Crazy for you

[Outro]
It's all brand new
I'm crazy for you
And you know it's true
I'm crazy, crazy for you
It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you
And you know it's true
Yeah, I'm crazy for you
Crazy for you, baby
I'm crazy for you
Crazy for you, baby

You are right love

@vigilanterocco381

You got that right. After 911, I built an elaborate underground bunker. With over 500 bikers, you'd have to have elephant balls to intrude on my compound....
