Crazy
Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Crazy
Crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue

I knew
You'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday
You'd leave me for somebody new

Worry
Why do I let myself worry
Wondrin'
What in the world did I do

Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for tryin'
Crazy for cryin'
And I'm crazy
For lovin' you

Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for tryin'
Crazy for cryin'




And I'm crazy
For lovin' you

Overall Meaning

Wilson's "Crazy" is a melancholic song that expresses the feelings of heartbreak and self-doubt. In the first verse, Wilson sings about feeling lonely and blue, emotions that are the result of being in love with someone who no longer feels the same way. She knows that her lover will leave her one day for someone new, and this knowledge adds to her sense of loneliness and desperation. The chorus repeats the word "crazy" multiple times, suggesting that the singer recognizes that her emotions don't make sense, yet she can't help how she feels.


The second verse is all about worrying and questioning the reasons behind the failed relationship. The singer is wondering what she did wrong and why her love couldn't hold onto her lover. The chorus repeats again, this time with Wilson's passionate vocals driving home the song's central message. The singer is crazy, but not just for trying and crying over someone who doesn't love her back. She is also crazy for loving them despite the impossibility of the situation.
