Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm goin' crazy knowin' he will be your lover tonight.
And when he comes I'll let you go;
I'll just pretend as you walk out the door.
Oh no, I can't sleep; oh no, I'm goin' crazy with love over you.
I need you to need me;
I wanna hold you but you're holdin' someone else in your arms.
I'm just not sure how much my heart can erase.
Oh no, I can't think; oh no, I'm goin' crazy with love over you.
Oh, honey, oh, sugar.
Oh no, I can't sleep anymore, baby.
Oh no, I can't think anymore, baby.
