You Go to My Head
Intoxicating Love: The Allure of 'You Go to My Head' by Maxine Sullivan
Lyrics
You go to my head
You occupy my thoughts constantly
And you linger like a haunting refrain
Your presence remains in my mind like a haunting melody
And I find you spinning round in my brain
I find myself preoccupied with thoughts of you
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
Similar to bubbles in champagne, thoughts of you effervesce in my mind
You go to my head
Your influence deeply affects me
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew, your impact is delightful
And I find the very mention of you
Mentioning you has a powerful effect on me
Like the kicker in a julep or two
Similar to the kick in a julep, thoughts of you are invigorating
The thrill of the thought
The excitement of the possibility that you may consider my plea
That you might give a thought to my plea, cast a spell over me
Hoping you might cast a spell on me, captivate me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Despite the excitement, reminding myself to stay composed
Can't you see that it never can be?
Realization that a romantic relationship with you is unlikely
You go to my head
Your impact on me is profound
With a smile that makes my temperature rise
Your smile raises my emotional intensity
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
Comparing the effect to a summer filled with warmth and joy
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Your eyes deeply affect and enchant my soul
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Despite knowing the slim chances, my heart is involved in this romantic pursuit
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
Expressing the unlikely odds of success in this romantic venture
You go to my head
You continue to occupy my thoughts prominently
You go to my head
Reiteration that you deeply impact my thoughts and emotions
