Lyrics:

I had everything I ever wanted in my life
Wasn’t lookin’ for nobody to be satisfied
Wasn’t looking for a honey or a steady girl
‘Til I turned around the corner
And you rocked my world
You was walkin’ down the street
Body boomin’ to the beat
You had everything complete
You was cold- too cold
And the funky things you said
Was like music to my head
And you turnded around and said
Baby let’s go

You’re so sexual…(sexual)
So intellectual…(so incrediable) so emotional (emotional)
You have everything I want…
Everything I need

[Chorus:]
Upside down you’re turning me
Ooh it’s an emergency
Could it be I’m fallin’ for your crazy love (Crazy Love)
I want your body next to me
Ooh with such an urgency
Could it be I’m fallin’ for your crazy love

I hear everybody talkin’
That your mind ain’t right
And my friends say I gone crazy girl but that’s alright
Cuz the things we do together
They mean so much more
Boy you got me feeling things
I’ve never felt before

You’re so sexual…(Sexual)
So intellectual…(So Incrediable) so incrediable (Emotional)
You have everything I want…

[Chorus x2:]
Upside down you’re turning me
Ooh it’s an emergency
Could it be I’m fallin’ for your crazy love (Crazy Love)
I want your body next to me
Ooh with such an urgency
Could it be I’m fallin’ for your crazy love

Do you know what you want baby ?
Do you like what you see ?
Mmmm, Do you wanna have some fun with me ?
I can give you just a little taste
Just a little bit
I can give it all to you
Can you handle it- Huh!

Let me have it all, yes
Let me have it all,
Let me have it all,
oh
Let me have it all,
Let me have it all,
Let me have it all,
Let me have it all,
Let me have it all, Everything need yeah-

[Chorus:]
Upside down you’re turning me
Ooh it’s an emergency
Could it be I’m fallin’ for your crazy love (Crazy Love)
I want your body next to me
Ooh with such an urgency
Could it be I’m fallin’ for your crazy love

You know you drive me crazy,
You know you drive me crazy for your crazy love,
You know you drive me crazy,
You know you drive me crazy for your crazy love,
You know you do,
You know you do, you drive me crazy, come on, you know
You drive me, you know you do you know you do, drive me crazy, you know
You drive me- Crazy for your CRAZY LOVE !
