[Pre-Chorus: Eminem, Ann Wilson]
Or maybe you did, maybe you like being shoved✦
(Tell myself✦ that I was doing alright)✦
Maybe 'cause we're crazy✦ in love
(There's✦ nothing✦ left to do tonight)✦
[Chorus: Ann Wilson]
But go crazy✦ on you
Crazy✦ on you
Let me go crazy,✦ crazy✦ on you, oh
[Verse 2: Eminem]
You are the ink to my paper,✦ what my pen is to my pad
The moral, the very✦ fiber,✦ the whole substance to my rap
You are my reason✦ for being, the meaning of my existence
If it wasn't for you I would never✦ be able to spit this
As intense as I do, and the irony✦ is you rely✦ on me
As much as I rely✦ on you to inspire me like you do
You provide me the lighter fluid, the fuel to my fire
You're my entire✦ supply:✦ gas, the match, and igniter
The only✦ way that I am able to stay so stable
Is you're the legs to my table
If you were to break I'd fall on my face
But I'm always gonna✦ make you feel I don't need you as much
As I really✦ need you so you don't use it to your advantage
But you're essential to me, you're the air I breathe I believe
If you ever✦ leave me I'd probably have no reason✦ to be
You are the Kim to my Marshall, you're the Slim to my Shady✦
The Dre to my Eminem, the Alaina✦ to my Hailie
You are the word that I'm lookin'✦ for
When I'm tryin' to describe how I feel inside✦
And the right one just won't come to my mind
You're like the pillar that props me up, the beam that supports me
The bitch who never✦ took half, the wife who never✦ divorced me
You're like the root to my evil,✦ you let my devil✦ come out me
You let me beat the shit out you before✦ you beat the shit out me
[Pre-Chorus: Eminem, Ann Wilson]
And no matter✦ how much, too much is never✦ enough
(Tell myself✦ that I was doing alright)✦
Maybe 'cause we're crazy✦ in love
(There's✦ nothing✦ left to do tonight)✦
[Chorus: Ann Wilson]
But go crazy✦ on you
Crazy✦ on you
Let me go crazy,✦ crazy✦ on you, oh

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse functions as a functional, heartfelt dedication that leans heavily on established romantic metaphors rather than complex, multi-layered linguistic innovation, relying on steady flow rather than technical wordplay.
