"I'm Crazy For You" Lyrics:
Song: Lin Minyi Lyrics: Lu Guozhan screamed feebly, please listen to me, the love in my heart, no matter what you show, you see the song, forgive me, how can I endure my impulse, it will make you suffer, I don’t want the truth to be like this you Makes me go crazy with a face that I will never forget, and every time I see you, my heart flutters, and I don’t know what your heart is like Standing here every day, looking at it for a while, screaming feebly, please listen to me, the love in my heart, no matter what you show When you see forgive me, how can I endure my impulse? It will cause you pain. I don't want the truth to be like this. You make me go crazy, make my face unforgettable, and every time I see you, my heart shakes. I don't know it. How helpless is your mind, secretly longing for you, you make me crazy, with a face that I will never forget, and every time I see you, my heart shakes.
