Píseň: Crazy For You

Interpret:
Joan Armatrading
Album:
Lovers Speak
I wanted you when and I want you now
And I always will
I wanted the best
And you are the best
Please don't leave


I don't want you to go
I'm a fool for you baby
I just want you to know
I'm a fool for you baby


Talked with a friend
We were up all night
We were looking at words
I searched for the ones
That would change your mind
Please


I just want you to know
I'm a fool for you baby
I just want you to know
I'm a fool for you baby
La da da da da


In this strange and troubled world
In this strange and troubled world


In this strange and troubled world
I just lost my mind
Let's clean the slate and start again
Don't leave me unforgiven


And I want you to know
My life is in your hands
I just want you to know
It's only you


I wasn't looking for someone else
And even at intimate times I felt
Like I was watching another life
In another world
In another time
And all the while my heart was crying
Crying like a little child
Cos all I wanted was you so much
But I just couldn't help myself


And I want you to know
You have the smile that I'm after
I just want you to know
I'm crazy crazy
For you
For your laughter
For your love
