love you crazy or love you crazily? There is a song named 'love you crazy'. I thought it should be 'love you crazily'. Which one is gramartically correct?

'Love you crazily' would technically be correct, but native speakers usually don't say that.

Thanks for your answer. However, if a native speaker doesn't usually say that, they would tend to use 'love you crazy' more often, wouldn't they?

More often than "crazily," which is never used, but not very often. It might be a holdover from an older form of English. These days, you could say something like "I love you like crazy," meaning, simply I love you a lot.

'Love you crazy' is a catchy song title, but it makes no sense grammatically. 'Love you crazily' fits English grammar rules, but it still doesn't mean very much. It isn't something natives speakers would say. In general, you should be careful about trying to learn grammar from songs. Songs often make their own rules, according to what fits the music and or according to what sounds fun and catchy. In fact, song writers often deliberately break the rules of grammar or use odd-sounding phrases just for fun, or to make the song more memorable.

Could you use "madly" here in UK English?

Yes, you can. Or more commonly, 'I'm madly in love with you'. Or use the adjective 'crazy', as in 'I'm crazy about you'.
