I’m crazy ’bout you baby, my my my
You love just drives me crazy, heaven knows
why
So let me love you while, the moon’s still high
Guarantee you we’ll have a good time
Making love under the stars

I feel the earth move when I’m in your arms
Got the River Nile in my veins
And when you’re with me, darling I could be
The white rabbit falling into space
Look at him go

I crazy ’bout you baby, my my my
You love just drives me cuckoo, heaven knows
why
So let me love you while, the moon’s still high
Let yourself go and have a good time
Making love under the stars

I see the lights dance when we’re holding hands
It’s like magic being with you
And when I’m dogged out, I still dream about
All the simple things that you do
All the little things

I crazy ’bout you baby, my my my
You love just drives me crazy, heaven knows
why
So let me love you while, the moon’s still high
Let yourself go and have a good time
Making love under the stars

Some of the lyrics to Crazy have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Cat Stevens and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Crazy if you take apart the structure of the words. 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 Cat Stevens. 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.
