[Verse]
At first a slight suggestion that grew to haunt my mind,
‘Twas that eternal question; true love is hard to find.
And then the day I found you, my love I had to share;
I built my dreams around you, somehow you made me care.

[Chorus] I can’t forget the night I met you,
That’s all I’m thinking of;
And now you call it madness, But I call it love.
You made a promise to be faithful, by all the stars above;
And now you call it madness, I still call it love.

My heart is beating, it keeps repeating for you constantly.
You’re all I’m needing, and so I’m pleading,
“Please, come back to me.”
You made a plaything out of romance!
What do you know of love?
That’s why you call it madness, But I call it love.
