I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's a rainbow and she loves the peaceful life
Knows I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight
There's a part of me in the chaos that's quiet
And there's a part of you that wants me to riot
Everybody needs to cry or needs to spit
Every sweet tooth needs just a little hit
Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot
How can you stand next to the truth and not see it?
Oh, a change of heart comes slow


[Chorus]
It's not a hill, it's a mountain
As you start out the climb
Do you believe me or are you doubting
That we're gonna make it all the way to the light?
But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight

[Verse 2]
Every generation gets a chance to change the world
Pity the nation that won't listen to your boys and girls
'Cause the sweetest melody is the one we haven't heard
Is it true that perfect love drives out all fear?
The right to appear ridiculous is something I hold dear
Oh, but a change of heart comes slow
[Chorus]
It's not a hill, it's a mountain
As you start out the climb
Listen for me, I'll be shouting
That we're gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight

[Bridge]
Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone
Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone
Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
It's not a hill, it's a mountain
As we start out the climb
Listen for me, I'll be shouting
We're shouting to the darkness, squeeze out sparks of light
You know we're gonna go crazy
You know we'll go crazy
You know we'll go crazy if we don't go crazy tonight

[Outro]
Oh, slowly now
Oh, always slow

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
