Yes
It's so crazy right now
Most incredibly, it's ya girl, B
It's ya boy, young

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no

Yeah, history in the making
Part two, it's so crazy right now

I look and stare so deep in your eyes
I touch on you more and more every time
When you leave, I'm begging you not to go
Call your name two or three times in a row
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain
How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame
'Cause I know I don't understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can

Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Got me looking so crazy right now (in love)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now (your touch)
Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy in love's
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no

When I talk to my friends so quietly
Who he think he is? Look at what you did to me
Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress
If you ain't there, ain't nobody else to impress
It's the way that you know what I thought I knew
It's the beat my heart skips when I'm with you
But I still don't understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can

Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Got me looking so crazy right now (oh, crazy)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch (you're in love)
Got me looking so crazy right now (love)
Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss (hey)
Got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy in love's (hey)
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love
I'm looking so crazy in love's
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love

Check it, let's go
Young 'Hov, y'all know when the flow is loco
Young B and the R-O-C, uh oh, (oh)
Ol' G, big homey, the one and only
Stick bony, but the pocket is fat like Tony Soprano (oh no)
The ROC handle like Van Axel
I shake phonies, man; you can't get next to
The genuine article; I do not sing though
I sling though; if anything, I bling yo
A star like Ringo, roll like a green beret
Crazy bring ya whole set
Jay Z in the range, crazy and deranged
They can't figure him out; they like, "hey, is he insane?"
Yes, sir, I'm cut from a different cloth
My texture is the best fur, chinchilla

And, baby, you're making a fool of me
You got me sprung and I don't care who sees
'Cause, baby, you got me, you got me so crazy, baby
Hey

Overall Meaning

The song "Crazy in Love" is a collaborative effort from Beyonce and Jay-Z. The track is a love story that describes the crazy feelings that being in love can ignite. Beyonce sings about being completely consumed by her love for someone, admitting that she is willing to call his name repeatedly to keep him there with her. She acknowledges that her pride sometimes gets in the way of truly understanding how this love works. Jay-Z enters the song with a boastful rap that complements Beyonce's melodious voice. He brags about his rap skills and how they have helped him gain popularity, while also acknowledging that he is cut from a different cloth. Overall, the song encapsulates the rollercoaster ride of emotions that come with being in love.


One interesting fact about the song is that it was not initially meant to be a duet. It was only after Jay-Z heard the instrumental beat and suggested that he hop on it that they decided to collaborate. Another interesting fact about the song is that it was released in 2003, and it won several awards, including two Grammy awards. The music video for the song also received overwhelming praise for its energetic and captivating visuals, which featured Beyonce in a pink tank top and jean shorts dancing on the street.

Also, the song was used in the soundtrack of the popular movie "Fifty Shades of Grey." Lastly, the song sampled from the Chi-Lites' "Are You My Woman (Tell Me So)" which is a 1970s funk hit.
