Lyrics
Open up your door to me
Please don't make me shove
Let's swagger through the shallows
In the springtime of our love
Walk summer's sapphire shores
Beneath the crimson skies above
Then fall into the autumn
Like We're falling into love
Warm me all the winter
As if I was your dove
Oh,I'm mad, mad, madder
Madly in love
I want to stare into your eyes
Feel your skin like mother's pearl
You send my spirit sailing baby
You give my heart a twirl
But I feel as if I'm drowning
In a deep adrenline swirl
Don't know if I can take it
Should I find another girl
Who lets me breathe a little
And gets me off this tilt-a-wirl
Oh, I'm mad, mad, madly
Madder than love
Mad, mad, madly
Madder than love
I'm drowning underwater
In a sea beneath your swell
Which way the world is spinning
I can no longer tell
I can no longer tell
Both feet were in heaven
But now one of them's in hell
I think I better ditch you baby
I gotta cure you spell
Pick back up the chains I tossed
Into your wishing well
Now I'm gonna leave you baby
Back on lonely street I'll dwell
Love's a game for fools
at least we played it well
Oh, I'm mad, mad, madly
Madder than love
Mad, mad, madly
Madder than love
Mad, mad, madly
Madder than love
