Crazy About The La La La
Smokey Robinson and The Miracles Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like it, I like it
To each his own
Give everybody a chance
To dig what they really want to
I know just the other day
I was telling my baby
About the things that I dig

I was saying
Ooh, I'm crazy 'bout that la la la
Ooh, I'm crazy 'bout that la la la (crazy 'bout that la la la)
Can't do without that la la la

Well, it might mean fish and chips
May mean toast and jam
Mama, but you know what it means
And about what a fool I am

Ooh, I'm crazy 'bout that la la la
Ooh, I'm crazy 'bout that la la la (crazy 'bout that la la la)
Can't do without that la la la

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la

Oh, well, now, now
It might mean where you kissed her
Say, it might the hallway light
But you know what it means
And you know it makes me feel all right (feel alright)

Oh, baby, oh, baby
Oh, baby, now
Crazy 'bout that la la la
Oh, baby, baby
Crazy 'bout that la la la (crazy 'bout that la la la)
Can't do without that la la la

I like it, I like it
(I do, too, I do, too)
Oh, got a thing for that la la la, oh
Oh, got to have that la, la, la, yeah, yeah
Ooh, I need that la la la
Got to have it, baby
Ooh, got a thing for the la la la
My chance rings for the la la la

La, la, la, la
Oh, baby
Crazy 'bout that la la la

Right on, right on
Crazy 'bout that la la la

Right on, right on
Right on, right on
