Bewitched
Billy Vaughn & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A simpering, whimpering, child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
Love came and told me, I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
He is cold I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long, for the day when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
(Bewitched, bothered and bewildered)
(Bewitched, bothered and bewildered) am I
The first few lines of the song "Bewitched" by Billy Vaughn And His Orchestra are about being overwhelmed and entranced by love. The singer is wild and beguiled, acting like a simpering, whimpering, child again. The repeated phrase "Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I" drives home the point that the singer is completely under the spell of this love, feeling both confused and captivated.
The next few lines talk about the singer's difficulty in sleeping, which is likely due to the euphoric and chaotic state they are in. Love came and told them they shouldn't sleep, likely meaning that they should soak up every moment of this feeling while they can. They are still bewitched, bothered, and bewildered, which makes it hard to settle down and relax.
The final lines of the song express the singer's willingness to endure suffering for the sake of love. They have lost their heart but can't help loving the object of their affections even if that person is cold and indifferent. The singer will continue to sing to this person and long for the day when they can be together, even though they are filled with anxiety and confusion. The song captures the intense emotions of being in love, the hope, the uncertainty, and the blissful vulnerability.
