Bewitched
Enchanted Melancholy: Love's Allure and Folly
Lyrics
She's a fool and don't I know it
Expressing awareness that she is a fool, acknowledging the knowledge of her foolishness.
But a fool can have her charms
Recognizing that despite being a fool, she possesses charms that captivate.
I'm in love and don't I show it
Indicating being in love and outwardly displaying the emotions associated with love.
Like a babe in arms
Drawing a comparison to a helpless infant in the intensity and vulnerability of love.
Love's the same old situation
Describing love as a recurring and familiar circumstance or condition.
Lately I've not slept a wink
Revealing insomnia caused by the current unusual and perplexing romantic situation.
Since this crazy situation
Acknowledging the impact of the crazy romantic situation, causing emotional instability.
Has me on the blink
Expressing being on the brink or edge due to the overwhelming romantic situation.
I'm wild again, beguiled again
Conveying a sense of excitement and unpredictability, becoming infatuated and enchanted again.
A whimpering, simpering child again
Describing oneself as emotionally vulnerable, akin to a whining and whimpering child.
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
Summarizing the emotional state as bewitched, bothered, and bewildered, signifying deep romantic entanglement.
Couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep
Highlighting the inability to sleep, attributing it to love's intervention and influence.
Love came and told me, shouldn't sleep
Love advising against sleeping, emphasizing the compelling nature of the romantic experience.
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
Reiterating the emotional state of being bewitched, bothered, and bewildered.
I lost my heart, but what of it
Downplaying the significance of losing one's heart, accepting it without much concern.
She is cold I agree
Acknowledging the coldness of the romantic interest, acknowledging the emotional distance.
She might laugh, but I love it
Expressing enjoyment despite potential laughter from the romantic interest, recognizing the humorous aspect.
Although the laugh's on me
Accepting that laughter may be at one's own expense but finding delight in it.
I'll sing to her, bring spring to her
Committing to express feelings through song and bring a sense of renewal or vitality to the romantic interest.
And long, for the day when I'll cling to her
Anticipating and longing for the future day when a close and intimate connection will be established.
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
Reaffirming the ongoing state of being bewitched, bothered, and bewildered due to the romantic entanglement.
