Y’get up every morning, see the same old face
Y’get in your car and drive it down to the same old place
Well, do you ever wonder what it’s all about
Something they call freedom of choice
That you should not live without

Me, I’m feelin’ lazy
And it’s me that’s on the line
I may be crazy
But I’ve been crazy for a long time

You take your action on weekends at a time
But you can make all week your own
If you set your mind
You see security in the chrome American dream
But I don’t believe in livin’ in the middle
With available extremes

Now there’s many people see the truth in what I’m sayin’
But it’s hard to make up your mind with a programmed brain
You who know better, but you’re just gonna wait and see
Why don’t you do it now, you may never get another
Opportunity

About Lyrics and Crazy by Carole King

The lyrics to Crazy are just the words, phrases, verses and chorus that Carole King used when the song was created in 1979. The lyrics to Crazy have both easy-to-spot meanings and hidden metaphors that have been discussed by the music press and fans, but only Carole King and any collaborators know all of the inspirations for the song.

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to Crazy by Carole King. 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 Carole King. 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 Carole King 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.
