Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart
Love's Enchanting Grasp: Gene Pitney's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Something's gotten hold of my heart
Something has deeply affected my emotions and feelings.
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
It is creating a separation between my soul and senses.
Something's gotten into my life
Something significant has entered my life.
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
It is disrupting my dreams in a sharp and impactful manner.
Turning me up, turning me down
Fluctuating emotions, causing both joy and sadness.
Making me smile and making me frown
It alternately makes me smile and frown.
In a world that was small
Reflecting on a time when the world was small and peaceful.
I once lived in a time that was peace
Recalling a past era without troubles.
With no trouble at all
Life was once serene without any challenges.
But then you came my way
Then, someone entered the speaker's life.
And a feeling unknown shook my heart
An unknown feeling shook the speaker's heart.
Made me want you to stay
It made the speaker desire the presence of the person.
All of my nights and all of my days
The impact is felt throughout all nights and days.
Yeah I gotta tell you now
Expressing urgency in conveying the current state of emotions.
Something's gotten hold of my hand
Feeling a strong grip on the speaker's hand.
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Pulling the speaker's soul into a beautiful and enchanting place.
Yeah something has invaded my nights
Something has infiltrated the speaker's nights.
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Injecting vivid colors into the speaker's dreams.
Changing the grey, changing the blue
Transforming the dull and blue aspects of life.
Scarlet for me and scarlet for you
Symbolizing a passionate connection with the color scarlet.
I've got to know if this is the real thing
Expressing a need to understand if the emotions are genuine.
I've got to know what's making my heart sing, woah yeah
Wanting to identify the source of the joy and happiness.
You smile and I'm lost for a lifetime
Describing the captivating effect of the person's smile.
Each minutespent with you is the right time
Every moment spent with the person feels right.
Every hour, yeah, every day, yeah
Emphasizing the positive impact consistently, every hour and day.
You touch me and my mind goes astray
The person's touch leads the speaker's mind astray.
And baby yeah
Affirming the captivating effect and connection with the person.
