Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
Love's Spell: Bewitched and Beguiled Charms
Lyrics
She's a fool and don't I know it
He acknowledges that she is a fool, and he is aware of it.
But a fool can have her charms
Despite her foolishness, she possesses certain charms.
I'm in love and don't I show it
Expressing his love for her openly.
Like a babe in arms
Comparing himself to a helpless baby in her presence.
Love's the same old situation
Describing the recurrent and familiar nature of love.
Lately I've not slept a wink
Unable to sleep due to the intense emotions caused by the current romantic situation.
Since this crazy situation
The unusual and chaotic circumstances have left him emotionally unstable.
Has me on the blink
Feeling disoriented and confused because of the situation.
I'm wild again, beguiled again
Experiencing intense emotions, feeling captivated once again.
A whimpering, simpering child again
Depicting himself as a vulnerable and emotional child.
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
Summarizing his state as being enchanted, bothered, and bewildered by love.
Couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep
Unable to sleep and resisting the idea of sleeping.
Love came and told me, shouldn't sleep
Love advises him not to sleep, suggesting the urgency of the situation.
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
Reiterating the state of being enchanted, bothered, and bewildered by love.
I lost my heart, but what of it
Acknowledging the loss of his heart, but downplaying its significance.
She is cold I agree
Accepting that she is emotionally distant or unresponsive.
She might laugh, but I love it
Despite potential mockery, he appreciates and enjoys her laughter.
Although the laugh's on me
Realizing that he is the subject of her laughter.
I'll sing to her, bring spring to her
Expressing his intention to serenade her and bring joy into her life.
And long, for the day when I'll cling to her
Longing for the day when he can be close to her, emotionally and physically.
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
Summarizing his continued state of being enchanted, bothered, and bewildered by love.
