'exaggerate' is the definition.
('overdo' can be a synonym of 'exaggerate')

'drove mad? love' is the wordplay.
'mad?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'mad' mean this).
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'drove' is an anagram of 'overd'.
'overd'+'o'='OVERDO'

'you' acts as a link.
