[Intro: Rihanna]
Ooh yeah
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: Rihanna]
When you stand so close to me
I'm feeling butterflies
Is this the way that it supposed to be when I look into your eyes?
All you have to do is say my name
Just a stutter, more like butter
Since I met you, boy, my whole worlds changed
I can't hide this or deny this

[Chorus: Rihanna]
Boy, you got me catching feelings
Got me thinking maybe you're the one
I didn't understand the reason
That my heart was beating like a drum
I didn't understand the meaning
Then you opened up my eyes to
A crazy little thing called love
(A crazy little thing called love)
A crazy little thing called love
(Whoa, yeah!)

[Verse 2: Rihanna]
My best friends tell me "Rihanna, what's got into you?"
I said "LeAndra, I can't explain these feelings I'm going through"
They tell me "Girl, it's not like you to fall this way"
I try my best to wear a disguise, but it's written on my face

[Chorus: Rihanna]
Boy, you got me catching feelings
Got me thinking maybe you're the one (maybe you're the one)
I didn't understand the reason
That my heart was beating like a drum
I didn't understand the meaning
Then you opened up my eyes to
A crazy little thing called love
(A crazy little thing called love)
A crazy little thing called love
(A crazy crazy little thing called love)
(Whoa, yeah!)

[Verse 3: J-Status]
Girl, it's crazy It's amazing
It's the loving that you feeling
Put a tingle in your body every time you want a healing
Hey Rihanna
Baby girl, for you missing the song, yeah
So tell the DJ put the pon de replay
If you wanna
Come on my bajun, baby
Let me take to Jamaica
And introduce you to the real thing
For the loving where you are
So baby you're my number 1, not number 2
So if its lovin' that you want
Baby, you should make me your boo

[Hook: Rihanna]
Boy, you got me catching feelings (Boy, you got me)
Got me thinking maybe you're the one (Maybe you're the one)
I didn't understand the reason
That my heart was beating like a drum (Beating like a drum)
I didn't understand the meaning
Then you opened up my eyes to
A crazy little thing called love (Crazy, crazy, baby, baby)
(A crazy little thing called love)
A crazy little thing called love
(Whoa, yeah!)

[Outro: Rihanna]
Don't understand the meaning
This means crazy, baby
I try my best not to show
But you know it's so crazy, baby
Crazy little thing called love
A crazy little thing called love
(A crazy little thing called love)
(Whoa, yeah!)

A true pop icon, Robyn “Rihanna” Fenty is a singer, actress, and businesswoman from Saint Michael, Barbados. She was first discovered by American record producer Evan Rogers in 2003 and later signed a contract to Def Jam Recordings in 2004, after auditioning for its then-president, JAY-Z.

The following year, in 2005, she released her debut album Music of the Sun and its follow-up, A Girl Like Me, in 2006. Both albums did well commercially, but it wasn’t until the release of her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, in 2007 that poised Rihanna as an international pop star. It became her first album to receive a Grammy nomination (seven to be exact) and features one of her biggest hits, “Umbrella.”

Moving onto 2009, Rihanna released her fourth studio album, Rated R. It featured a darker and more atmospheric tone from her previous albums. She released her fifth studio album, Loud, the next year in 2010. It marked her return to making dance-pop records. That summer, she featured on Eminem’s smash hit, “Love the Way You Lie” and is one of her most popular features of all time.
