I’m crazy
Crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy
Crazy for feeling blue
I know you’d love me as long as you wanted
Then someday leave me for somebody new

Worry
Why should I let myself worry
Wondering
What in the world did I do

I’m crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I’m crazy for crying
And crazy for trying
And I’m crazy for loving you

Worry
Why do I let myself worry
Wondering
What in the world did I do

I’m crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I’m crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I’m crazy for loving you

About Lyrics and Crazy by Linda Ronstadt

The lyrics to Crazy are the words, verses and chorus for the song released by Linda Ronstadt in 1976. Elements of the lyrics to Crazy are both direct in meaning and also metaphorical with the real meanings of the song only known by Linda Ronstadt and any collaborating writers working on the lyrics for Crazy back when it was created.

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to Crazy by Linda Ronstadt in a number of ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Crazy" means the words set to the music of Crazy, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Linda Ronstadt. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Crazy and the lyrics to Crazy are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Linda Ronstadt who came here looking just for the lyrics to Crazy, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
