"Love Like Crazy"

I heard a rumor
that love will make you crazy.
Well is it true?
Well that's no rumor;
Look at the crazy things
that love made Jesus do.
Well, the friends He chose
were thought to be outrageous (yes they were)
And you could even find Him
touching the contagious, yeah (yeah you could)
And the craziest is how
He chose to save us, save us-
He gave His life away.
Then He had to go and say
"Got to love the same way
that I love you."

Chorus:
Love like crazy, yeah
(love like crazy)
Gotta love like crazy
(love like crazy)
Gotta love like crazy
The way He loves you and me
'Cause if the world's ever gonna change
We gotta love like crazy.

What the world needs now
is for love to spread
as fast as the rumors do.
To make it
we gotta take this thing
from another whole point of view.
Start by keeping our vows
and not breaking promises.
And bring hope
to the Women at the Well,
and the Doubting Thomases.
And you kids,
you gotta cheerfully
do what your Pops and your Momma says.
'Cause He gave His life away.
Then He had to go and say
"Got to love the same way
that I love you."

Chorus

Well I'm telling you boy,
you got a lot to learn.
I think your crazy alright,
to love for nothing in return.
You've lost your marbles;
got a few loose screws;
and if you count your cards
I'll bet you got less than fifty-two.
And now you've got me thinking
you sorta planted a seed.
'Cause you're just so happy
just the kind of love that I need.
Nah, your train's off the track;
You're from the loony bin;
You know that brain that you ordered,
Well it never came in.
Or else you've fallen on your head
and all your brains leaked out.
'Cause your lights are on,
but ain't nobody in your house.
The elevator doesn't quite reach the top floor;
I think you're out in the left field,
and I could say a lot more.
But you don't care what I think;
It doesn't matter what I'm telling you,
You got the love of Jesus,
and He's the one propelling you
to love like He does.
gotta love like He does. (echo)

'Cause if the world's ever gonna change.
You gotta love like crazy.
(love like crazy)
You gotta love like crazy.
(love like crazy)
You gotta love like crazy.
The way He loves you and me
'Cause if the world's ever gonna change,
If the world's ever gonna change,
If the world's ever gonna change,
We gotta love...
