Rave On Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A-weh-uh-heh-uh-ell
The little things you say and do
Make me want to be with you-ah-hoo
[Chorus 1]
A-Rave on, it's a crazy feeling and-a
I know it's got me reeling
When you say, I love you-hoo, rave on
[Verse 2]
The way you dance a-and hold me tight
The way you kiss and say goodni-hi-ight
[Chorus 1]
A-Rave on, it's a crazy feeling and-a
I know it's got me reeling
When you say, I love you-hoo, rave on (du-ba-de-du-ba-de-dum)
[Chorus 2]
A-well rave on, a-it's a crazy feeling and
I know, it's got me reeling
I'm so glad, that you're revealing
Your love for me
Rave on, rave on and tell me
Tell me, not to be lonely
Tell me, you love me only
Rave on to me
A-weh-uh-heh-uh-ell
The little things you say and do
Make me want to be with you-ah-hoo
[Chorus 1]
A-Rave on, it's a crazy feeling and-a
I know it's got me reeling
When you say, I love you-hoo, rave on
[Verse 2]
The way you dance a-and hold me tight
The way you kiss and say goodni-hi-ight
[Chorus 1]
A-Rave on, it's a crazy feeling and-a
I know it's got me reeling
When you say, I love you-hoo, rave on (du-ba-de-du-ba-de-dum)
[Chorus 2]
A-well rave on, a-it's a crazy feeling and
I know, it's got me reeling
I'm so glad, that you're revealing
Your love for me
Rave on, rave on and tell me
Tell me, not to be lonely
Tell me, you love me only
Rave on to me
[Chorus 2]
A-well rave on, a-it's a crazy feeling and
I know, it's got me reeling
I'm so glad, that you're revealing
Your love for me
Rave on, rave on and tell me
Tell me, not to be lonely
Tell me, you love me only
Rave on to me
A-well rave on, a-it's a crazy feeling and
I know, it's got me reeling
I'm so glad, that you're revealing
Your love for me
Rave on, rave on and tell me
Tell me, not to be lonely
Tell me, you love me only
Rave on to me
About
Genius Annotation
This song was originally released as a lone single, but can now be found on a plethora of Buddy Holly compilations. The single was hugely popular in 1958, and in 2004 it was ranked #154 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”.
In this song, Buddy seeks to express his extreme enthusiasm for the crazy feelings he has for a girl, and how they make him want her.
Holly’s trademark hiccup (“Weh-uh-heh-uh-ell…”) is present from the very beginning of the record and the remainder of the song sticks to the superb 50s Rock and Roll sound.
