Crazy for My Baby
Willie Dixon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm crazy for my baby
I'm crazy for my baby
I'm crazy for my baby
And my baby's just as crazy for me

Everytime I lay down to sleep
I dream my baby is kissing me
The sweet little girl well she's so fine
I just can't get her out of my mind

I'm crazy for my baby
I'm crazy for my baby
I'm crazy for my baby
And my baby's just as crazy for me

When the sun go down she can hear me shout
I know she will be home before the lights go out
Early in the morning about the break of day
I can hear nothing but my baby say

I'm crazy for my baby
I'm crazy for my baby
I'm crazy for my baby
And my baby's just as crazy for me

She held me long and she squeeze me tight
She make me love her with all my might
She bring my food right to them bed
She talk baby talk tailing out of my head

I'm crazy for my baby
I'm crazy for my baby




I'm crazy for my baby
And my baby's just as crazy for me
