Crazy
by: D. BrownI used to be crazy, crazy
I never seen it coming, hit me like a freight train
Everything was going so well
Then everything changed
From the moment our lips touched
I guess you thought that I owed you something
From the moment that we made love
I guess you wanted to control me
Where's that angel that I loved to love, where the
Why you thinking all those crazy thoughts
Girl I don't know
I don't question you bout anything
But you go through my phone
Thought we were in this thing together babe
[Chorus]
Every single time we make love
Whenever I say I do everything for you
Everytime we talk about trust
Whenever I say the worlds I love you
That make you crazy, that make you crazy
That make you crazy, that make you crazy
This just ain't how you used to be
Guess my love make you crazy
This just ain't how you used to be
My best friend's missin, gone since yesterday
All you wanna do is argue, we can talk about anything
I wanna know what's wrong, say I don't care
Tryina, tryina proove my love
I gotta get outta here
Where's that angel that I loved to love
Where did she go
Why you thinking all those crazy thoughts, girl I don't know
I don't question you bout anything
But you go through my phone
Thought we were in this thing together babe
[Chorus]
Every single time we make love
Whenever I say I do everything for you
Everytime we talk about trust
Whenever I say the worlds I love you
That make you crazy, that make you crazy
That make you crazy, that make you crazy
We used to be a fairy tale
Now we're just a nightmare
I'm feeling so unwanted here
All the power that I gave you over me
You're using it to do wrong
How can you be so cold to me
[Chorus]
Every single time we make love
Whenever I say I do everything for you
Everytime we talk about trust
Whenever I say the worlds I love you
That make you crazy, that make you crazy
That make you crazy, that make you crazy
That make you crazy, that make you crazy
