You Go to My Head
Intoxicating Love: "You Go to My Head" Meaning Explained
Lyrics
You go to my head
You occupy my thoughts constantly
And you linger like a haunting refrain
You remain in my mind like a recurring, haunting melody
And I find you spinning round in my brain
I continually find thoughts of you swirling in my mind
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
Similar to bubbles rising in champagne, thoughts of you effervesce within me
You go to my head
Repeated line: You occupy my thoughts constantly
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
You affect me like a sip of delightful, effervescent burgundy wine
And I find the very mention of you
Mentions of you have a significant impact, akin to the kick of alcohol in a julep drink
Like the kicker in a julep or two
Similar to the alcohol's impact in a drink, thoughts of you have a strong effect on me
The thrill of the thought
The excitement of the possibility that you might consider my plea and enchant me
That you might give a thought to my plea, cast a spell over me
Hopeful of being enchanted by you, yet reminding oneself to remain composed
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Self-admonishment to regain control and not get carried away by emotions
Can't you see that it never can be?
Realization that the desired outcome may never come to fruition
You go to my head
Repeated line: You occupy my thoughts constantly
With a smile that makes my temperature rise
Your presence, marked by a smile, stirs up intense feelings within me
Like a summer with a thousand July's
Your effect on me is like an exceptionally warm and intense summer
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Your gaze deeply captivates and influences my very soul
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Recognition of the slim chance for success in this intense and irrational love
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
Admitting the improbable odds for success in this passionate romance
You go to my head
Repeated line: You occupy my thoughts constantly
You go to my head
Repeated acknowledgment that thoughts of you dominate my mind
