The definition of " get sb to do/doing sth" in Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English is "to persuade or force someone to do something". But the expressions also mean"to casue sth to happen, or cause a particular state" (as in: "You got me looking so crazy right now"), am I right? I just want to make sure.
 
mmm, you've got me thinking! ;-)
 
My above post was ungrammatical because 'You made me look' should have been used instead of 'You made me looking'. Is it correct?
Not a teacher.
 
"You got me looking so crazy right now".

I am not a teacher.

This sounds suspiciously like the lyrics of 'Crazy in love'. Song lyrics should be used as a grammar reference at your peril.
