Aerosmith - Crazy - Music Legacy




"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
