Song Description
I first came up with the guitar intro, then the first words that came to me was "When I got home last night".
After that the lyrics kept coming and the chorus just fell into place. One of the fastest songs that I ever wrote.

Lyrics
1st Verse
When I got home last night
You weren't around
Calling your name over and over
But you were nowhere to be found
I knocked on your best friends door
She said she hadn't seen you
What's a man to do, you're making me blue
I'm mad about you
2nd Verse
I Jumped into my GTO
Started cruisin around
Checkin out all your favourite places
All over town
Knocked on your sisters door
She said she wouldn't tell me if she knew
What's a man to do, you're making me blue
I'm mad about you
Chorus
I'm mad about the way you make my head spin
You make my heart skip a beat
I'm mad about the way I tremble at your touch
You make my knees go week
3rd Verse
You said I hurt your feelings
And that you needed some space
Please accept my sincere apology
With a loving embrace
Then bring yourself home to me
Darling I will treat you right
What's a man to do, you're making me blue
I'm mad about you
Repeat Chorus:
I'm mad about you, but I'm crazy bout you baby
I'm mad about you, and you, and your sister too
But I'm crazy bout you baby
What's a man to do, you're making me blue
I'm mad about you
