Bewitched
Ronnie Price 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
The song "Bewitched" by Ronnie Price is a classic love song that speaks about falling in love with someone who is perhaps not the best choice. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of this fact but cannot resist the charm and allure of the woman he loves. The first two lines, "She's a fool and don't I know it, but a fool can have her charms," suggest that the woman may not be intelligent or make wise choices, but the singer is still drawn to her.
The chorus of the song, "I'm wild again, beguiled again, a whimpering, simpering child again. Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I," conveys the singer's emotions and state of mind. He is completely smitten with this woman and cannot control his feelings. Even though he is aware that the situation is not ideal, he cannot help himself from being in love with her.
The final verse, "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," shows that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to win the heart of the woman he loves. In spite of her flaws, he cannot help but love her and will continue to pursue her until he wins her over.
Line by Line Meaning
She's a fool and don't I know it
I know that she is foolish
But a fool can have her charms
Nevertheless, even a foolish person can be attractive
I'm in love and don't I show it
I love her and my actions reveal my emotions
Like a babe in arms
I am romantically vulnerable around her
Love's the same old situation
This pattern of loving someone is familiar
Lately I've not slept a wink
I have avoided sleeping recently
Since this crazy situation
This relationship is irrational
Has me on the blink
And has caused me to act abnormally
I'm wild again, beguiled again
I have gone back to being passionate and captivated
A whimpering, simpering child again
Like a weak and pathetic child
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
I am completely under her spell, bothered and confused
Couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep
I haven't been able to and I don't want to sleep
Love came and told me, shouldn't sleep
My love for her has prevented me from sleeping
I lost my heart, but what of it
I fell in love with her, regardless of the consequences
She is cold I agree
I acknowledge that she is emotionally distant
She might laugh, but I love it
Even when she is laughing at me, I find her charming
Although the laugh's on me
Even though I am the one being ridiculed
I'll sing to her, bring spring to her
I will serenade her and bring her happiness
And long, for the day when I'll cling to her
I yearn for the day when I can be close to her
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
I am still affected by her spell and remain perplexed and troubled
