Love You Like Mad

(Ready?)
(I love you, oh baby)
Nothing worth taking... so I never really took
Nothing was shaking... but baby you really shook
No one was waking... until you kept me up
If your heart was breaking.... you know I won't see you stuck
The pain never felt so good
To feel so bad
I love you... I love you like mad
I love you... I love you like mad
Uh
(I love you)
No one worth knowing... has ever known a thing
No one who knew how... could ever teach the world to sing
You are the only one... I've ever listened to
So don't wait for me to ask... tell me what to do
The pain never felt so good
To feel so bad
I love you... I love you like mad
Love you... I love you like mad
Love... love you like mad
Don't worry baby, if you're in the spotlight
I'll do the maximum time... for you tonight
You know that we're not crazy
Well maybe just a touch
Some sweet delight, a sugar rush
And some kisses cost too much
I love you... I love you like mad
Love you... I love you like mad
Love you... love you like mad
Love you... love you like mad
Owwww
Hey hey, hey hey, / (I love you, I love)
Hey hey / (I love you, I love)
Love you, love you, like mad
Love you, love you, like mad
Love you, love you, like mad
Love you, love you, like mad / (B-O-N-O off the tree)
Love you, love you, like mad / (I am going S-A-D)
(B-O-N-O on the tree, I am going M-A-D)
(I love you, oh baby)
Nothing worth taking... so I never really took
Nothing was shaking... but baby you really shook
No one was waking... until you kept me up
If your heart was breaking.... you know I won't see you stuck
The pain never felt so good
To feel so bad
I love you... I love you like mad
I love you... I love you like mad
Uh
(I love you)
No one worth knowing... has ever known a thing
No one who knew how... could ever teach the world to sing
You are the only one... I've ever listened to
So don't wait for me to ask... tell me what to do
The pain never felt so good
To feel so bad
I love you... I love you like mad
Love you... I love you like mad
Love... love you like mad
Don't worry baby, if you're in the spotlight
I'll do the maximum time... for you tonight
You know that we're not crazy
Well maybe just a touch
Some sweet delight, a sugar rush
And some kisses cost too much
I love you... I love you like mad
Love you... I love you like mad
Love you... love you like mad
Love you... love you like mad
Owwww
Hey hey, hey hey, / (I love you, I love)
Hey hey / (I love you, I love)
Love you, love you, like mad
Love you, love you, like mad
Love you, love you, like mad
Love you, love you, like mad / (B-O-N-O off the tree)
Love you, love you, like mad / (I am going S-A-D)
(B-O-N-O on the tree, I am going M-A-D)
Love You Like Mad
U2's 'Love You Like Mad' stands as a defining track from the band's 1987 album, Achtung Baby. Released during a pivotal era marked by the group's shift toward electronic textures and introspective songwriting, the recording exemplifies the band's signature blend of melodic pop sensibilities with gritty, atmospheric production. The song captures the emotional volatility of the late 80s, reflecting themes of intense affection and psychological turbulence that became central to the album's narrative. As a staple of the band's discography, it remains a powerful representation of U2's evolution from their earlier rock roots into a more complex, modern sound that continues to influence contemporary music.
