Crazy
Dancing on the Edge: Unraveling the Allure of Uptown Nights
Lyrics
Uptown girl you were raised right
Expressing admiration for the girl from an affluent background who was brought up well.
But you're dancin' in clubs almost every night
Observing the girl's frequent presence in clubs, suggesting a lifestyle that contrasts with her upbringing.
Makin' moves, takin' shots
Describing her actions, possibly in the context of partying or socializing.
She turns to me, and says: "boy, whatcha got?"
Quoting the girl questioning the speaker about his qualities or possessions.
Oh lord
Repeating the refrain, expressing the impact of the girl's behavior on the speaker, driving him crazy.
She drives me crazy yeah
-Oh lord
-She drives me crazy yeah
-Yeah, yeah, yeah
-Can't stop, won't stop, you don't quit
Encouraging the girl to continue her energetic and carefree lifestyle.
But you gotta stop dancin' like a bad misfit
Warning against dancing in a manner that might be considered inappropriate or out of place.
Cause if you don't, I know for sure
Highlighting the consequences if the girl continues her current behavior.
You'll end up dead on the dance floor
Suggesting a potential negative outcome, such as harm or danger, if she doesn't change her ways.
Oh lord
Repeating the refrain, emphasizing the girl's impact on the speaker's emotions.
She drives me crazy yeah
-Oh lord
-She drives me crazy yeah
-Yeah, yeah, yeah
-Woo!
An exclamation, possibly indicating excitement or intensity in the situation.
Hey there girl, I know the crowd's nice
Addressing the girl, acknowledging the appealing nature of the crowd.
But they're makin' it hard to break the ice
Pointing out the challenges in initiating a conversation due to the crowd's influence.
We could party all night, I got the money to spare
Expressing the speaker's financial capability and suggesting a potential connection or relationship.
Maybe we could learn to be a perfect pair
Proposing the idea of learning to be a perfect pair with the girl.
Oh lord
Repeating the refrain, underscoring the girl's effect on the speaker and the intense emotions involved.
She drives me crazy yeah
-Oh lord
-She drives me crazy
-Yeah, yeah, yeah
