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 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’ve looked 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 But I’m crazy for love 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 It’s a fervor that brings us to bliss and devotion A frenzy that shows us the passion to kill While we burn like a riot and break like an ocean We make like we’re sober to do what we will No, we’re crazy for love 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
