Driving me crazy.

[templar77]

I'm not 100% happy with the title.and i'm thinking that maybe the first verse might work better as the bridge?



All the love you had
never came my way
you just gave it all away
you're so bad for me
yet i still crave your grace
cant understand my thinking
or why i just cant sleep.

CHORUS.

Please baby
you're driving me crazy
cant get you out of my head
i must be going insane
it's the only way to explain
why i wait here for nothing
praying something inside you has changed.

At first your love was sweet
but now it tastes so sour
was it tainted by another
now i feel so insecure
and all the times we talked
simply did no good at all
you just did'nt understand
the feelings that i had.

CHORUS.

Please baby
you're driving me crazy
cant get you out of my head
i must be going insane
it's the only way to explain
why i wait here for nothing
praying something inside you has changed.

As i lay here in the darkness
praying for the sun
can't stop thinking of you
staring at your face
although you stole my dreams
i still wish for your embrace.

CHORUS.

Please baby
you're driving me crazy
cant get you out of my head
i must be going insane
it's the only way to explain
why i wait here for nothing
praying something inside you has changed.

And you know i'll still come running
the minute that you call
leave everything i'm doing
just to see your face
you've got no style just pace
but only when you're in the mood
like i'm some clockwork lover
who'll come running like a fool.

CHORUS.

Please baby
you're driving me crazy
cant get you out of my head
i must be going insane
it's the only way to explain
why i wait here for nothing
praying something inside you has changed.

As I read your lyrics, I started asking myself this question: Why does "you" drive the singer crazy? I never got the answer. I get that they had "something" and "she gave it away." But I think it would pull the listener in a lot better if we new what that something was.

Songs that show us work better than songs the tell us. Take "Over You" as an example ... different kind of "going away," but look at the images you get: the presents, the tree, you and me ... I play your records and you sing along ... concrete images that draw us to where the singer is feeling, so not only do we know what the singer is feeling, but why. That's hard. But that's what separates a great lyric from a good one.
