Ah...

Girl, I can't believe
The love you're givin' me
Took me by surprise
For your love wears no disguise

And ah you turn my head around
You blow my mind with a love
That makes me feel so good
Log on to kill this message.

My world is upside down
And the feeling's strong
You really got me going

Crazy
About your lovin', girl
It's crazy

Please stay my lady
Without your love
I'll just go crazy

Thinking back in time
When loneliness was mine
My life was bare
Without a love to share

But now you turned my life around
You build me up and I know I'm really winning
In you, the love I've found
(I'm all shook up) My head is spinnin', girl

It's just crazy
How much I love you, girl
It's crazy

Please stay my lady
Without your love
I'll just go crazy

So let me hold you in a warm embrace
In our love all fears erase
Far as the sun shall surely rise
Never a tear shall touch your eyes

'Cause I'm crazy
About your lovin', girl
It's crazy

Please stay my lady
Without your love
I'll just go crazy

Whoa, whoa, it's crazy
How much I love you, girl
It's crazy

Please stay my lady
Without your love
I'll just go crazy

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ah...
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ah

Crazy
How much I love you, girl
It's crazy

Please stay my lady
Without your love
I'll just go crazy

I'm just crazy
About your lovin', girl
It's crazy

Ooh, stay my lady
