About Crazy

"Crazy for You" is a song by American singer Madonna, written by John Bettis and Jon Lind, from the soundtrack album to the film Vision Quest (1985). It was released on March 2, 1985 by Geffen Records as the first single from the soundtrack. Producers Jon Peters and Peter Guber, along with music director Phil Ramone, decided to use Madonna after listening to her previous recordings, employing Bettis and Lind to write the song. After reading the script of the film, Bettis and Lind wrote the song about the situation in which the lead characters meet at a nightclub. Initial recording sessions did not impress Bettis and Lind, and they felt that "Crazy for You" would be dropped from the soundtrack. However, a new version was recorded to their liking. John "Jellybean" Benitez was the producer for the song, and it was a challenge for him, as previously he was associated with recording dance-pop songs only. Initially Warner Bros. Records did not want the song to be released as a single, since they believed that it would take away the attention from Madonna's second studio album Like a Virgin (1984). In the end, Peters and Guber convinced Warner officials to greenlight its release. "Crazy for You" ushered a new musical direction for Madonna, as she had not previously released a ballad as a single. The track features instrumentation from snare drums, harp, bass synthesizer and electric guitar. Lyrically, the song speaks of sexual desire between two lovers and consists of innuendos.

I spent all night waitin' up
It's gon' be the last night I wait up for you
Spent a long time wakin' up
Used to think that I was not enough for you
Now I see that I'm just way too much
You got your hands full, I'm misunderstood
Now I see that I'm who I can trust
And you got a lot of room, you tryna make good

But if you think I've been foolish and you only fool me once
I guess it's shame on you
Said now if you think I've been foolish and you keep on tryna do it
Baby, I'ma switch the plans on you

'Cause you're drivin' me crazy
You must think I'm crazy
Você me põe tão louca
Você pensa que eu sou louca
And I won't let you drive me crazy
I won't let you drive me crazy
Você não vai me por tão louca
Você não vai me por tão louca

I bent my knees for you like a prayer
My God, look at me now
Peel off my weakness, layer after layer
Nothing left for me to keep 'round
I'm a force that I won't tame, babe
Can't go through this and stay the same, babe
I seen a lot of stranger things, babe
And I'll never look at you the same

But if you think I've been foolish and you only fool me once
I guess it's shame on you
Said now if you think I've been foolish and you keep on tryna do it
Baby, I'ma switch the plans on you

'Cause you're drivin' me crazy
You must think I'm crazy
Você me põe tão louca
Você pensa que eu sou louca
And I won't let you drive me crazy
I won't let you drive me crazy
Você não vai me por tão louca
Você não vai me por tão louca

Eu te amo
Mas não deixo você me destruir
I put you on a pedestal, but statues, they can fall
Felt so safe, I let you drive me straight into the war (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Paid the hell you dealt me, thought you felt me
Was never good at games, now I'll just forget your name (forget your name)

But if you think I've been foolish and you only fool me once
I guess it's shame on you
Said now if you think I've been foolish and you keep on tryna do it
Baby, I'ma switch the plans on you

'Cause you're drivin' me crazy
You must think I'm crazy
Você me põe tão louca (louca)
Você pensa que eu sou louca
And I won't let you drive me crazy
I won't let you drive me crazy (crazy)
Você não vai me por tão louca
Você não vai me por tão louca (louca)

'Cause you're drivin' me crazy
You must think I'm crazy
Você me põe tão louca
Você pensa que eu sou louca
And I won't let you drive me crazy
I won't let you drive me crazy
Você não vai me por tão louca
Você não vai me por tão louca
