Enchanting Desires: Unraveling the Spell of Ella Fitzgerald's Witchcraft
Lyrics
Those fingers in my hair
Describes the sensation of someone's fingers running through the singer's hair.
That sly come-hither stare
Refers to a seductive, alluring look or gaze.
That strips my conscience bare
Indicates that the captivating presence of the person causes the singer to feel emotionally exposed or vulnerable.
It's witchcraft
The singer attributes these intense feelings and sensations to "witchcraft," metaphorically implying a bewitching power.
And I've got no defense for it
Expresses the inability to resist or defend against the captivating influence.
The heat is too intense for it
Emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the attraction.
What good would common sense for it do?
Questions the usefulness of common sense in dealing with such an intense allure.
'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
Reiterates the bewitching nature of the situation.
And although I know it's strictly taboo
Acknowledges societal norms that label such attraction as forbidden or prohibited.
When you arouse the need in me
Describes the arousal of desire caused by the person.
My heart says, "yes, indeed" in me
Confirms the emotional response of the singer's heart to the arousing influence.
Proceed with what you're leading me to
Accepts being led by the captivating individual.
It's such an ancient pitch
Highlights the timeless nature of the allure or attraction.
But one that I wouldn't switch
Expresses satisfaction with the current situation and person.
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
Compliments the person's captivating qualities.
'Cause it's witchcraft, that crazy witchcraft
Reiterates the idea of being under a bewitching influence.
And although I know it's strictly taboo
Reaffirms the societal taboos surrounding such attractions.
When you arouse the need in me
Reflects the awakening of desire caused by the individual.
My heart says, "yes, indeed" in me
Confirms the emotional response of the singer's heart to the arousing influence.
Proceed with what you're leading me to
Accepts being led by the captivating individual.
It's such an ancient pitch
Reiterates the timeless nature of the enchantment.
But one that I'd never switch
Emphasizes contentment with the current situation and person.
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
Compliments the captivating qualities of the person.
