Crazy Feelings
Missy Elliott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's what it was when I met you
In love
And no one could ever talk about you
But it sucks, so many lies and alibis
I love
Crazy feelings
In love with you
Crazy feelings (Crazy)
Make me stay (Make me stay)
In love with you
So in love
I just didn't see the wrong you did
In love
But now that I know I can admit
It was love
That made me a fool, a silly fool
In love, oh, crazy
Crazy feelings
Make me stay (Make me stay)
In love with you (You, you)
Crazy feelings
Make me stay
In love with you
You was always in my face
All the time
Even with 20/20 vision
I couldn't see you lie
You was always in my face (In my face)
All the time (All the time)
Even with 20/20 vision (20/20 vision)
I couldn't see you lie
Crazy feelings (Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy)
Make me stay (Make me stay)
In love with you (In love with you, you, you, you)
Crazy feelings
Make me stay
In love with you (With you, with you, you, you, you)
Crazy feelings (Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy feelings)
Make me stay (Make me stay)
In love with you
Crazy feelings (Crazy, crazy,crazy)
Make me stay (Make me stay, stay, stay)
In love with you (You, you, you, you)
