She Drives Me Crazy
The Art of Noise/Tom Jones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't stop the way I feel
Things you do don't seem real.
Tell me what you've got in mind,
'cause we're running out of time.
Won't you ever set me free?
This waiting 'round's killing me.

She drives me crazy like no one else.

She drive me crazy, and I can't help myself.

I can't get any rest,
People say I'm obsessed.
Everything you say is lies,
But to me that's no surprise.
What I had for you was true.
Things go wrong, they always do.

She drives me crazy like no one else.
She drive me crazy, and I can't help myself.

Tell me what you've got in mind,
'cause we're running out of time.
Won't you ever set me free?
This waiting 'round's killing me.

She drives me crazy like no one else.
She drive me crazy, and I can't help myself.

I won't make it on my own.
No one likes to be a lone.

She drives me crazy like no one else.

She drive me crazy, and I can't help myself.
She drives me crazy like no one else.
