When I think about it baby, (Baby)
All I can do is shake my head
"Cause there ain't no explanation, (Baby) no reason,
Oh you must be heaven-sent
With your crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy love, (Your crazy love)
Boy you got me so messed up,
So messed up

Now all I know is your love
I tear-up when I think about you, boy
You've got me so emotional
But when I cry now, they're all tears of joy

You gotta, you gotta, you gotta understand baby
I've been through so many things
My heart has seen the ups the downs the highs and the lows (Baby)
And every pain life brings
But now I got you crazy, crazy, love (Your crazy love)
And all I wanna do now is sing
Uh,(Uh) uh (Uh) (Uh) uh, (Uh) I just wanna sing for you baby

Now all I know is your love
I tear-up when I think about you, boy
You've got me so emotional
But when I cry now, they're all tears of joy

Said I'm crying now, but it's not like before
Baby these are tears of joy
They've been the same since you walked through my door
Baby these are tears of joy
Now all I know is your love (Your love)
I tear-up when I think about you, boy
You've got me (So) so emotional
But when I cry now, they're all tears of joy
Look how you got me crying
Everyday and every night baby oh

I'm crying now, but it's not like before
Baby these are tears of joy (These are tears of joy)
They've been the same since you walked through my door
Baby these are tears of joy
I'm crying now, but it's not like before
Baby these are tears of joy (Tears of joy)
