Bewitched
Chamber Jazz Sextet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But a fool can have her charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
Like a babe in arms
Love's the same old situation
Lately I've not slept a wink
Since this crazy situation
I'm wild again, beguiled again
A whimpering, simpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
Couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep
Love came and told me, shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
I lost my heart, but what of it
She is cold I agree
She might laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to her, bring spring to her
And long, for the day when I'll cling to her
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I

Line by Line Meaning
She's a fool and don't I know it
I am aware that she may not make the smartest choices
But a fool can have her charms
Even with her flaws, she still possesses attractive qualities
I'm in love and don't I show it
My affection for her is obvious to those around me
Like a babe in arms
I feel vulnerable and dependent on her love
Love's the same old situation
Falling in love is a universal experience
Lately I've not slept a wink
My infatuation is distracting me from my usual routine
Since this crazy situation
My current emotional state feels overwhelming and out of control
Has me on the blink
I feel disoriented and off balance
I'm wild again, beguiled again
I am swept up in a passionate and captivating romance
A whimpering, simpering child again
I feel like a helpless and dependent young person
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
I am under a spell of passionate love, causing confusion and distress
Couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep
Despite my insomnia, I would rather stay awake and think about her
Love came and told me, shouldn't sleep
My love for her is keeping me awake and consumed by my thoughts
I lost my heart, but what of it
Even though my love for her may not be reciprocated, I still feel deeply attached to her
She is cold I agree
I understand that she may not have warm feelings towards me
She might laugh, but I love it
Even if she makes fun of me, I am enamored by her humor and charm
Although the laugh's on me
Despite my affection for her, I am aware that she may not feel the same way
I'll sing to her, bring spring to her
I am willing to do anything to win her heart and bring joy to her life
And long, for the day when I'll cling to her
I eagerly anticipate the time when I can embrace her and express my love
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
I am deeply under her spell, consumed by my feelings and unsure of what to do next
