Bewitched
Enchanted by Love's Perplexity
Lyrics
She's a fool and don't I know it
Expressing awareness that the woman in question is a fool.
But a fool can have her charms
Acknowledging that even a fool can possess attractive qualities.
I'm in love and don't I show it
Indicating being in love and displaying it openly.
Like a babe in arms
Comparing the feeling of being in love to that of a helpless babe in arms.
Love's the same old situation
Describing love as a familiar and recurring situation.
Lately I've not slept a wink
Admitting to experiencing sleepless nights due to the current emotional state.
Since this crazy situation
Referring to the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the romantic situation causing distress.
Has me on the blink
Expressing being on edge or emotionally unsettled because of the situation.
I'm wild again, beguiled again
Conveying a sense of excitement and being captivated by love.
A whimpering, simpering child again
Describing a state of vulnerability and childishness in the throes of love.
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
Summing up the experience as being enchanted, bothered, and confused by love.
Couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep
Highlighting difficulty in sleeping, influenced by the presence of love.
Love came and told me, shouldn't sleep
Recalling advice against sleeping due to the arrival of love.
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
Reiterating the sense of being enchanted, bothered, and confused by love.
I lost my heart, but what of it
Acknowledging the loss of one's heart to the woman despite her apparent coldness.
She is cold I agree
Acknowledging the woman's cold demeanor.
She might laugh, but I love it
Expressing enjoyment despite being the subject of laughter from the woman.
Although the laugh's on me
Highlighting that the laughter is at the speaker's expense.
I'll sing to her, bring spring to her
Committing to expressing love through song and bringing joy to the woman.
And long, for the day when I'll cling to her
Expressing the longing for the day when the speaker can be close to the woman.
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
Reiterating the state of being enchanted, bothered, and confused by love.
