You Go to My Head
Intoxicating Love: Coleman Hawkins' Melodic Spell
Lyrics
You go to my head
You deeply affect me
And you linger like a haunting refrain
Your presence remains in my thoughts persistently, like a haunting melody
And I find you spinning round in my brain
I constantly think about you, feeling your presence swirling in my mind
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
Your effect on me is effervescent and lively, similar to bubbles rising in champagne
You go to my head
Your impact on me is significant
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
Similar to the pleasure derived from a sip of sparkling burgundy wine
And I find the very mention of you
Merely mentioning you evokes strong feelings in me
Like the kicker in a julep or two
Comparable to the kick felt from the alcohol in a julep drink
The thrill of the thought
The excitement of the possibility that you might consider my request, enchanting me
That you might give a thought to my plea, cast a spell over me
I hope you'll captivate me, yet I remind myself to regain control
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
I try to tell myself to calm down and be rational
Can't you see that it never can be?
I realize that what I hope for is impossible
You go to my head
You deeply affect me again
With a smile that makes my temperature rise
Your smile has a powerful effect on me, raising my emotions
Like a summer with a thousand July's
Similar to experiencing an intensely hot and vibrant summer
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Your eyes have a mesmerizing effect on my soul
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Despite my certainty that I have no chance in this intense and irrational love affair
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
I acknowledge the slim chance of success in this passionate romance
You go to my head
You deeply affect me once more
You go to my head
You deeply affect me yet again
