Mad About You

The lyrics describe two people who are strongly attracted to each other and seem equally caught up in the feeling. They call themselves “a couple of fools,” but the phrase sounds playful rather than regretful: they know their passion may make them act without thinking, and they enjoy it. The mood is intimate and excited, moving through a night together toward the first light of morning.

“Mad about you” means deeply in love or intensely attracted, not literally angry or mentally ill. Being “lost in your eyes” suggests becoming absorbed in the other person and temporarily setting ordinary judgment aside. The repeated images of pushing day into night and night into day suggest that their time together feels so absorbing that they lose track of the hours. The sleeping city and the first light place this closeness in a quiet, private moment.

The song presents love as mutual and immediate, especially through the repeated “you and I.” The line about touching a hidden or sensitive part of the speaker may suggest emotional vulnerability as well as physical closeness, though the lyrics do not explain exactly what that part is. “Reason aside” hints that this attachment may not be guided by careful thought. It could be a joyful surrender to passion, while the self-description as fools leaves a little room to wonder whether their excitement is wise.
