Background
Twitty’s soulful vocals, combined with the song’s lush orchestration, create a captivating and emotive atmosphere. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love affair characterized by both intense desire and deep-seated insecurities. The protagonist, consumed by a whirlwind of emotions, grapples with the fear of losing their beloved.
The opening verse sets the stage for the song’s emotional intensity: “I’m crazy in love with you, it’s true/But I’m afraid to show it to you.” Twitty’s voice conveys a sense of vulnerability and longing, as he expresses his hesitance to fully embrace the depth of his feelings.
The chorus further explores the protagonist’s internal conflict: “I’m afraid to love you too much/Afraid I’ll lose you if I do/But I can’t help myself, it’s such/A crazy thing to do.” The repetition of the phrase “crazy in love” emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the protagonist’s passion.
The bridge delves into the complexities of the relationship, hinting at past hurt and mistrust: “We’ve been through so much together/But I’m still afraid of losing you/I’m afraid of what the future holds/But I can’t let go of you.” The lyrics suggest that the protagonist’s insecurities stem from past experiences, making it difficult for them to fully trust and commit to their partner.

Ain’t it funny how timeSteals the feelings from a love affairAnd there’s no place to lay the blameIt ain’t a case of no one caresHelplessly just watch it fade awayNeither will admit we’re both aching to say.Ooo, I miss the days when we were crazy in loveWhen you weren’t so sure of meI had my little jealousiesOoo, bring back the days when we were crazy in loveI need to feel that way againRemember when we were crazy in love.Oh, it used to be so easy one touch and you were highAnd I could get intoxicated just by looking in your eyesBaby ain’t there anything we can do‘Cause I know you’re missing meAs much as I’ve been missing you.Ooo, I miss the days when we were crazy in loveWhen you weren’t so sure of meI had my little jealousiesOoo, bring back the days when we were crazy in loveI need to feel that way againRemember when we were crazy in love.We were more than best of friendsWe were crazy in loveCrazy in loveCrazy in love…
