Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a fantastic journey, and Hanson's 'Miss You Like Crazy' offers a great opportunity to connect with heartfelt and straightforward English lyrics. The song's emotional expressions of longing are universally understood, and its catchy chorus makes it easy to sing along and practice pronunciation.

[English]

I gave you my heart

Who could've blamed me?

You are that shooting star

I'm happily chasing

But when we're apart

I can't contain it

It hits me like a heart attack

I just got to tell you that

I miss you like crazy

You knew my flaws

You still took me home

Didn't make it

To give up all control

And I was steady loving

Help me get out of my head

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I gave you my heart

I couldn't blame you

You are that shooting star

I'm happily chasing

But when we're apart

I can't contain it

It gives me like a heart attack

I just got to tell you that

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

You opened doors

I thought would always be closed

Nobody could ever know

What more can be told

And I let you come and let you

Can't get you out of my head

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy

I miss you like crazy
