Crazy
Norah Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Crazy, crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I know you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then some day, you would leave me for somebody new

Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wondering what in the world did I do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
Oh, I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you

Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wondering what in the world did I do?

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you




Oh, I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you

The second verse continues the theme of the singer's inner turmoil, as she questions herself and wonders what she could have possibly done to drive her lover away. The chorus repeats the initial sentiments, with the singer admitting that she is "crazy" for thinking that her love could hold onto her partner. She knows that her efforts are futile, yet she cannot help but continue to try and desperately cling onto her relationship.

Crazy, crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I know you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday, you would leave me for somebody new

Worry, why do I let myself worry ?
Wondering what in the world did I do ?

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
Oh i'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you

Worry, why do I let myself worry ?
Wondering what in the world did I do ?

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
Oh i'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you

Norah Jones's voice melts my heart

@jerzeq3

She's a goddess and has the voice of an angel.

@TheClassicmania

Norah Jones is the epitome of modern institutional women in soul-jazz (as the way icons Ella F., Etta James, Aretha F.. Billie H., Sarah V., Patsy C., etc - all progressed during their eras) - & such artistic passion to cover the best global domain masterpieces, is basically rendered out of respect, recognition & gratitude to these icons. Patsy Cline & Willie Nelson, & several artists, including Norah, gave due justice to this masterpiece...Crazy...

Such a beautiful spirit. I love her and I love this song. Her voice and her tunes just hit the spot.

A voice that is like a soft gentle breeze, pleasant and soothing.

@stephenspencer4672

The best compliment Norah could pay Patsy Cline is to do this song her own way. Patsy's is a classic and so is Norah's

@michaeld8090
