You Make Me Crazy
Utopia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I waited all night
I smoked a hundred cigarettes
I chewed my lip 'til it bled
But the phone made not a sound
Sometimes I wonder
If you ever wonder what's become of little old me
But I ain't no baby
I ain't gonna cry but baby
You don't know what's going on inside me
Why know you make me crazy
What you do to me
It's a chemical reaction or an allergy
Why know you make me crazy
You're aware of that
Why don't you come and put me away
It was a long night
I could barely keep my head
I heard a knock on the door
It was only Harry Jones
I used to wonder
What it is that makes me feel like I can't be free
'Cause you don't give me nothing
You never give me nothing
But you don't know what's going on inside me
Why know you make me crazy
I'm in misery
Are you interested enough to see what's left of me
You scared me
The way you move in the night
Your face is something frightening
You're not so nice
I'm gonna wonder
Who you spend your time with
Everywhere you go and what you see
I know I'm not your daddy




I don't want to be your daddy
But you know what's going on inside me

Line by Line Meaning

I waited all night
I was eagerly waiting for you all night


I smoked a hundred cigarettes
I was anxious and nervous while waiting for you

I was so anxious that I couldn't help but chew on my lip


But the phone made not a sound
You didn't call me, and I felt disappointed


Sometimes I wonder
I often think to myself


If you ever wonder what's become of little old me
Do you ever think about me and what I am doing?


But I ain't no baby
I am not weak


I ain't gonna cry but baby
I won't cry, but...


You don't know what's going on inside me
You have no idea how I feel inside


Why know you make me crazy
You make me go insane, and I don't know why


What you do to me
Your actions affect me strongly


It's a chemical reaction or an allergy
I feel this way because of something you do that triggers my emotions


You're aware of that
You know that you have this effect on me


Why don't you come and put me away
Why don't you come and take care of me, since you have this power over me?


It was a long night
The night was very long for me


I could barely keep my head
I was very tired


I heard a knock on the door
Someone knocked on my door


It was only Harry Jones
It was only someone unimportant


I used to wonder
I used to think


What it is that makes me feel like I can't be free
What makes me feel trapped

You frightened me


The way you move in the night
The way you act at night


Your face is something frightening
You look scary


You're not so nice
You're not a good person


I'm gonna wonder
I will think about


Who you spend your time with
Who you spend your time with


Everywhere you go and what you see
Where you go and what you do when you're not with me


I know I'm not your daddy
I know you don't depend on me like a child depends on their father


I don't want to be your daddy
I don't want that kind of responsibility


But you know what's going on inside me
But you should know how I feel inside
