She's Crazy
Lyrics:
[English]
Let me tell you story
About a little girl I know
When she walks into a room
You know she steals the show
She's crazy
...
And it's more than I can stand
...
I'm just crazy about that woman
And she's just crazy 'bout this man
...
She wakes me every morning
With that tender lovin' touch
Some fools don't get enough
But she just loves me too much
She's crazy
...
And it's more than I can stand
I'm just crazy about that woman
And she's just crazy 'bout this man
...
She always wants me around
But I ain't got time
But you know she got that little ways
To make me change my mind...
She's crazy
And it's more than I can stand
...
I'm just crazy about that woman
And she's just crazy 'bout this man
...

Grammar:
-
Let me tell you a story
➔ Imperative used for making a suggestion/offer.
➔ "Let" + pronoun + verb is a structure frequently used when initiating a conversation or suggesting a course of action.
-
When she walks into a room, You know she steals the show
➔ Subordinate clause with "when" expressing time/condition followed by a main clause. Relative clause.
➔ The "when" clause sets the context for the main event, and "steals the show" is an idiom. 'You know' is a filler to emphasize the statement.
-
And it's more than I can stand
➔ Comparative structure, "more than" expressing exceeding a limit.
➔ This expresses that the speaker's feelings are overwhelming or beyond their capacity to endure.
-
I'm just crazy about that woman
➔ Idiomatic expression: "crazy about" meaning very fond of or infatuated with.
➔ The phrase "crazy about" is an informal way of expressing strong affection.
-
Some fools don't get enough
➔ Use of "enough" as an adverb modifying the verb "get".
➔ "Enough" indicates a sufficient quantity, and in this case, implies these individuals do not receive a sufficient amount of love or attention.
-
But she just loves me too much
➔ Adverb "too" modifying "much" to express excess. "Too much" after the verb.
➔ The use of "too much" implies that the amount of love is exceeding a comfortable or manageable level, although the singer might appreciate it.
-
But you know she got that little ways To make me change my mind...
➔ Reduced relative clause. "ways" is the subject of the relative clause but the relative pronoun is omitted.
➔ This can be expanded to: 'But you know she got that little ways *that she uses* to make me change my mind...'The structure implies something unique about her method of persuasion.
