Crazy for Love

Like a woman on fire
going crazy for water,
like a drowning man
crazy for breath just above.
Crazy with hunger
are poverty’s daughters.
I was born being lonely,
I’m crazy for love.
Crazy for love
Oh it’s everyone’s madness.
Love, but we don’t do it by rote.
Love, when the whole world is sickened with sadness,
Love is the antidote.
With a terrible longing
I look to my lover
In the desperate hour
as evening grows dim.
Clinging for comfort
like a child to their mother,
in my fever I thought I was crazy for him.
I’m crazy for love.
Oh, it’s everyone’s madness.
Love, but we don’t do it by rote.
Love when the whole world is sickened with sadness,
love is the antidote.
Oh it’s a fervour that brings us
to bliss and devotion
a frenzy that shows us
the passion to kill
as we burn like a riot
and break like an ocean,
we make like we’re sober
to do what we will.
No you’re crazy for love,
yeah it’s everyone’s madness.
Love, but we don’t do it by rote.
Love, when the whole world is sickened with sadness,
love is the antidote.
Love is the antidote.
