When in love

When in love

When in love

When in love

When in love you might cuss and fuss and fight

But at the end of the night everything is alright

Drips of tears turn into drops of sweat

It'll only get as wet as I let it, baby

I love hard, I've done some effed up things

From kicking them in the Nerfs to throwin' away his ring

So if you love me, love me and stay with me

But you can walk if your plan is to play me

I'm not embarrassed, nor am I ashamed

To say once in the past, I've been gamed

But that was then and this is now

And there's no way damn it, there's no how

Although you gotta go through the good and the bad

Pray to the one up above it's not a fad

You'll do some crazy things when in love

Those in love know what I'm speakin' of

When in love

(People do this crazy things)

When in love

(It's crazy)

When in love

(People do this crazy things)

When in love

When in love you do things that are strange

Look back and say, "I must have been deranged"

I'm talkin' like pickin' your lover's nose

Cooking his food and washing his clothes

And if you thought that was goin' too far

What about givin' him the keys to your car?

You could be partyin' and havin' a ball

But you stop and check your messages to see if he called

How about sittin' in the house all night

Waitin' for the phone to ring, that ain't right

But you do it anyway 'cause you love him to death

And if he was dyin', you'd give your last breath

You gotta go through the good and the bad

Pray to the one up above it's not a fad

You'll do some crazy things when in love

Those in love know what I'm speakin' of

When in love

(People do this crazy things)

When in love

When in love

(People do this crazy things)

When in love

(It's crazy)

When in love

(It's crazy)

When in love

(It's crazy, so crazy)

When in love

When in love you go out your way to please him

Wait outside his job, hope that you see him

And guys buy girls some serious things

Like two-seater cars and diamond rings

I know what happens, she got you strung

Guess it doesn't matter long as you're having fun

Love'll make you do some crazy things

Meet a married man and then have a fling

Like Babyface said, "Love makes things happen"

It's most important to hear what I'm rappin'

Someone in love better take your time

'Cause love sometimes make one commit crimes

Although you gotta go through the good and the bad

Pray to the one up above it's not a fad

You'll do some crazy things when in love

Those in love know what I'm speakin' of

When in love

When in love

When in love

(People do this crazy things)

When in love

(Crazy)

When in love

(People do this crazy things)

When in love

(Crazy)

When in love

(Go crazy)
