Lyrics

You go to my head

You occupy my thoughts intensely.

And you linger like a haunting refrain

Your presence stays with me like a haunting melody.

And I find you spinning round in my brain

I constantly find thoughts of you swirling in my mind.

Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne

Similar to the bubbles in champagne, you captivate and exhilarate my senses.


You go to my head

Reiteration of the impact you have on my thoughts.

Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew

Comparing you to a delightful sip of sparkling burgundy brew.

And I find the very mention of you

Mere mention of you affects me profoundly.

Like the kicker in a julep or two

Your influence is as potent as the kick in a julep or two.


The thrill of the thought

Excitement at the prospect that you might consider my plea.

That you might give a thought to my plea, cast a spell over me

Hoping you enchant or captivate me with your thoughts.

Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself

Self-admonition to regain composure and control over emotions.

Can't you see that it never can be?

Realization that a romantic connection is unlikely or impossible.


You go to my head

Reiteration of the overwhelming impact you have on my thoughts.

With a smile that makes my temperature rise

Your smile has a tangible effect, increasing my emotional temperature.

Like a summer with a thousand July's

Comparing the intensity of emotions to a hot summer day.

You intoxicate my soul with your eyes

Your eyes have a profound and intoxicating effect on my soul.


Though I'm certain that this heart of mine

Despite the slim chance, my heart is certain of its feelings.

Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance

Acknowledgment of the challenging and unpredictable nature of the romance.

You go to my head

Reiteration of the profound impact you have on my thoughts and emotions.

You go to my head

Reaffirmation of the profound influence you have on my thoughts and emotions.
