"Crazy" is a power ballad performed by American hard rock band Aerosmith and written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Desmond Child. It was the final single from their massively successful 1993 album Get a Grip, released in May 1994. "Crazy" peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number three in Canada and number one in Iceland for two weeks. In Finland and the United Kingdom, it was released as a double-A side with "Blind Man", reaching number eight in the former country and number 23 in the latter.
The video for the song was directed by Marty Callner and received heavy rotation on MTV.
It was one of the most requested videos of 1994. It featured the third appearance of Alicia Silverstone in the band's videos, and was the career debut of Steven's then-teenaged daughter Liv Tyler.
Lyrics
Come here, baby
You know you drive me up the wall
The way you make good on all the nasty tricks you pull
Seems like we're makin' up more than we're makin' love
And it always seems you got somethin' on your mind other than me
Girl, you got to change your crazy ways
You hear me?
Say you're leavin' on a seven thirty train
And that you're headin' out to Hollywood
Girl, you been givin' me that line so many times
It kinda gets like feelin' bad looks good, yeah
That kinda lovin' turns a man to a slave
That kinda lovin' sends a man right to his grave
I go crazy, crazy baby, I go crazy
You turn it on, then you're gone
Yeah, you drive me crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
What can I do, honey? I feel like the color blue
You're packin' up your stuff
And talkin' like it's tough
And tryin' to tell me that it's time to go, yeah!
But, I know you ain't wearin' nothin' underneath that over coat
And it's all a show, yeah!
That kinda lovin' makes me wanna pull down the shade, yeah!
That kinda lovin', yeah, now I'm never, never, never gonna be the same
I go crazy, crazy baby, I go crazy
You turn it on, then you're gone
Yeah, you drive me crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
What can I do, honey? I feel like the color blue
I'm losin' my mind, girl, cause I'm goin' cra
I need your love, honey, yeah!
I need your love
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
I'm losin' my mind, girl, cause I'm goin' crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
You turn it on then, you're gone
Yeah, you drive me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ow, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, now baby, baby, baby, baby
