Well…today has a been a relaxing and enjoyable day of catching up on everything. Mainly housework and laundry. I have been trying to catch up with blogging too. I have had a crazy week and today has been calm and quiet – which is exactly what I needed.
While I was away, I did not have my laptop, so I couldn’t do much on WordPress. The tablet I use is cantankerous. I can view and like posts, but attempting anything else is futile, because the tablet blows a fuse when I try to do anything more demanding. So I have been trying to go back and reply to all the lovely comments from the past few crazy busy weeks.
I am going to relax here in my crib for the rest of the evening. I have a tub of home made saag aloo (my favourite) that my friend Nisha made and saved a portion for me. I also have a recipe for a vegan curry, made with chickpea, sweet potato and spinach as well as a generous amount of peanut butter! I want to make and freeze it into individual portions.
That is how I intend to use the rest of the evening, along with a glass of red wine. Early night for me I think. I am still exhausted by all the little ones I was entertaining last week, and the thought of the busy week ahead is overwhelming too! This is my chance to rest and relax and let myself recover from the crazy pace of this month.
As I am sure you have noticed, Jim Adams, aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme: CRAZY. I have enjoyed this theme as much as any other of Jim’s themes and it is great to be able to fully enjoy SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY again.
I was thinking of another song. I like this song because I know only too well what it is to be crazy in love. I know how much Jack loves this song too. He is still up in the north. He drives back tomorrow morning. But I am sure he will approve of both of the songs I have chosen for today. I have to work on Monday and Tuesday, but I will be heading straight over to see Jack on Tuesday evening and spending Wednesday with him. That’s right – I am going to be at his home (formerly our home) for the first time in over four years.
We danced to this song with all the kids (there are a lot of kids in my family) up in Snowdonia. I was teaching them to do Beyonce dance moves. They loved it. But we were listening to the music over the speakers, we didn’t watch the videos. I would be horrified at the little ones in my family seeing a lot of modern music videos. I want to protect their beautiful minds and keep them as gorgeous and delightful as they are now.
Anyway, I have added a slow version of this song and the faster original version below.
Here is the mighty original for those who don’t get annoyed by people prancing around in their underwear. I find it strange to see women gyrating around in their smalls. But apparently it sells. So, if they want to do that to earn money – hmm.
Yes! It’s so crazy right now!
Most incredibly, it’s your girl, B,
It’s your boy, young.
You ready?
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Yeah, history in the making,
Part 2, it’s so crazy right now
I look and stare so deep in your eyes,
I touch on you more and more every time,
When you leave I’m begging you not to go,
Call your name two three times in a row,
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain,
How I’m feeling and my pride is the one to blame.
‘Cause I know I don’t understand,
Just how your love can do what no one else can.
Got me looking so crazy right now,
Your love’s got me looking so crazy right now
Your love got me looking so crazy right now,
Your touch got me looking so crazy right now
Your touch got me hoping you’ll page me right now,
Your kiss got me hoping you’ll save me right now
Looking so crazy
Your love’s got me looking, got me looking so crazy
Your love.
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
When I talk to my friends so quietly,
Who he think he is? Look at what you did to me,
Tennis shoes, don’t even need to buy a new dress,
If you ain’t there ain’t nobody else to impress,
It’s the way that you know what I thought I knew,
It’s the beat my heart skips when I’m with you,
But I still don’t understand,
Just how the love you’re doing no one else can
Got me looking so crazy right now,
Your love’s got me looking so crazy right now (oh crazy)
Got me looking so crazy right now,
Your touch (you’re in love) got me looking so crazy right now (love!)
Got me hoping you’ll page me right now,
Your kiss got me hoping you’ll save me right now
Looking so crazy
Your love’s got me looking, got me looking so crazy
Your love.
I’m looking so crazy
Your love’s got me looking, got me looking so crazy your love.
I’m on that now, let’s go
Young Hov y’all know when the flow is loco,
Young B and the R-O-C
O.G. Big Homie, the one and only,
Stick bony,
But the pocket is fat like Tony,
Soprano the ROC handle like Van Exel,
I shake phonies man, you can’t get next to,
The genuine article I do not sing though,
I sling though, if anything I bling yo,
Star like Ringo, war like a Green Beret
Crazy bring your whole set,
Jay-Z in the range,
Crazy and deranged,
They can’t figure them out they like hey is he insane
Yes sir I’m cut from a different cloth,
My texture is the best fur: chinchilla.
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no)
I’ve been iller than chain smokers,
How you think I got the name Hova?
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no)
I been realer the game’s over,
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no)
Fall back young, ever since I made the change over
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no)
To platinum the game’s been a wrap, one!
Got me looking, so crazy, my baby
I’m not myself, lately I’m foolish, I don’t do this,
I’ve been playing myself, baby I don’t care
‘Cause your love’s got the best of me,
And baby you’re making a fool of me,
You got me sprung and I don’t care who sees,
‘Cause baby you got me, you got me so crazy baby
Got me looking so crazy right now,
Your love’s (oh love) got me looking so crazy right now (lookin’ crazy)
Got me looking so crazy right now,
Your touch got me looking so crazy right now
Got me hoping you’ll page me right now,
Your kiss (baby) got me hoping you’ll save me right now (baby)
Looking so crazy
Your love’s got me looking, got me looking so crazy
Your love.
Got me looking so crazy right now,
Your love’s got me looking so crazy right now
Your love got me looking so crazy right now,
Your touch got me looking so crazy right now
Your touch got me hoping you’ll page me right now,
Your kiss got me hoping you’ll save me right now
Looking so crazy
Your love’s got me looking, got me looking so crazy
Your love.
