[Intro]
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
[Verse 1]
I've seen times when I used hang all night
Girls back to back, I knew it wasn't right
Never thought that I would ever meet a girl
So fine, so fresh, who could rock my world
Oh, God, I'm hooked into her web (You, you, you, you)
Fellas, I apologize, but I have to step (You, you, you, you)
Got a feeling, a hunch, by the look in her eyes (You, you, you, you)
She's my inspiration, I need her in my life (You, you, you, you)
[Chorus]
You know that it's true
You can call me crazy
(You, you, you, you)
(You, you, you, you)
You can call me crazy
(You, you, you, you)
(You, you, you, you)
[Verse 2]
You know I'm hooked on you, I guess I'm strung out
Whatever you may call it, it's love without a doubt
Can't fight this feeling, so strong, I need her love tonight
I don't care what they say, I know this love is right
[Chorus]
You know that it's true
You can call me crazy
(You, you, you, you)
(You, you, you, you)
You can call me crazy
(You, you, you, you)
[Bridge]
You know that it's true
You can call me crazy
(You, you)
(You, you)
(You, you)
You can call me crazy
(You, you)
You can call me crazy
(You, you)
You can call me crazy
(You, you)
(You, you)
(You, you)
You can call me crazy
(You, you)
You can call me crazy
(You, you)
You can call me crazy
[Chorus]
You know that it's true
You can call me crazy
(You can)
You can call me crazy
(You can, you can)
You can call me crazy
(You can, you can, you can)
(You can, you can)
You can call me crazy
(You, you, you, you)
[Outro]
(You, you)
(You, you)
(You, you)
(You, you)
You know that it's true
(You, you)
You can call me crazy
You can call me crazy
You can call me crazy
You can call me crazy
(You, you, you, you)
(You, you, you, you)
(You can, you can)
(You, you, you, you)
(You, you, you, you)
You know that it's true
You can call me crazy
(You, you, you, you)
(You, you, you, you)
(You, you, you, you)
(You, you, you, you)

I’ll tell you now twenty years later we ended up keeping Al B. Sure!’s voice on the record (laughs). It’s not all Timmy Gatling. Timmy had quit the group at the time and we wanted to keep that song on the album. We asked Andre Harrell if...
Yes (in very bad video quality)!
