You Do Something To Me
Frank Sinatra The George Siravo Orchestra Lyrics

The song “You Do Something To Me” performed by Frank Sinatra and Julie Garland is a love song expressing the incredible power that the loved one holds over the singer. The lyrics describe the singer’s previous sadness and feelings of hopelessness until they encountered their lover. The song’s sense of mystification and infatuation in the face of this loved one renders the singer almost powerless to their special charm. The song is full of strong emotions and vivid descriptions of the way the other person makes the singer feel. By describing how everything becomes brighter and better in the presence of the lover, the singer emphasizes the impact the loved one has on them. When they ask to be placed under their spell, the singer cedes control, willingly giving themselves up to the lover's mysterious influence.

The refrain "You do something to me" recurs throughout the song, emphasizing the hold the loved one has over the singer. The singer's confusion at their unknown ability to hypnotize and control them creates an air of mystery and enchantment that fills the song. The approach of lyricist Cole Porter, who wrote this song in 1929, to the lyrics of the song is masterful, creating an excellent representation of the emotions of infatuation and attraction, rendering the song an all-time classic.
