Crazy Love
Various Artists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This thing called love
I just cant handle it
This thing called love
I must get round to it
I aint ready
Crazy little thing called love

This thing (this thing) called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby) in a cradle all night
It swings, it jives
It shakes all over like a jellyfish
I kinda like it
Crazy little think called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to rock and roll
She drives me crazy
She give me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool, cool sweat

I gotta be cool, relax
Get hip, get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch--hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until Im ready
Crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool, relax
Get hip, get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch--hike
Take a little long ride on my motor bike
Until Im ready
Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love
I just cant handle it
This thing called love
I must get round to it
I aint ready
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love




Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love

Overall Meaning

One artist who sang "Crazy Love" lyrics is Queen's frontman, Freddie Mercury. Mercury's interpretation of this song is energetic and upbeat. It's as if his voice is a perfect fit to the song's message. With his wide vocal range, Mercury adds his signature growls, high notes, and falsettos. The song's structure is simple, and it's noticeable in how Mercury sings the verses and the chorus. In the verses, his voice is subdued as he describes the thing called love. In contrast, he belts out the chorus with so much exuberance. The ending of the song is also noteworthy, as he repeats "crazy little thing called love" several times, demonstrating how much he adores the song's lyrics.


Another artist who sang "Crazy Love" is Michael Buble. In contrast to Mercury's version, Buble slows down the tempo of the song. His voice is soothing, and he leans more on his smoother falsettos than on his powerful belting. Buble's version of "Crazy Love" is for the romantics who love to dance slowly with their partners. He uses his seasoned vocals to convey the feelings of the lyrics, showing his vulnerability to love as he sings, "I ain't ready/ Crazy little thing called love." However, in the chorus, Buble's voice is more animated and thrown, and he adds a bit of jazz swing to complement the song's melody.
