Bewitched
Sweet n' Jazzy 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 lyrics to Sweet n' Jazzy's Bewitched tell the story of a man who has fallen in love with a woman who he knows is a fool, but is still charmed by her. He is unable to sleep because of this love and is in a wild and bewitched state. The fact that he is in love with this woman is surprising to him, as she is cold in nature, and he knows that others might laugh at him for loving her. Despite these reservations, he plans to serenade her and hope for the day when he can be with her.
The lyrics paint a picture of a man who is deeply infatuated with this woman, despite knowing that she is not the best choice for him. He is willing to endure ridicule and sleepless nights because of his love for her. The repetition of the phrase "bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I" emphasizes the idea that he is completely under this woman's spell.
Line by Line Meaning
She's a fool and don't I know it
I'm aware that she's not the smartest person
But a fool can have her charms
But despite that, she has her own attractive qualities
I'm in love and don't I show it
I can't hide the fact that I'm deeply in love with her
Like a babe in arms
I feel vulnerable and helpless around her, like a baby
Love's the same old situation
Falling in love is a familiar experience
Lately I've not slept a wink
I haven't been able to sleep recently
Since this crazy situation
Because of this unpredictable and strange situation
Has me on the blink
I'm feeling mentally strained and unstable
I'm wild again, beguiled again
I'm feeling passionate and captivated by her again
A whimpering, simpering child again
I'm acting like a weak and foolish child around her
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
I'm enchanted, troubled, and confused by her
Couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep
I was too preoccupied with my thoughts to sleep
Love came and told me, shouldn't sleep
My love for her kept me awake and restless
I lost my heart, but what of it
Even though she doesn't reciprocate my feelings, my heart still belongs to her
She is cold I agree
I admit that she's not affectionate or warm towards me
She might laugh, but I love it
Even if she laughs at me or makes fun of me, I still find it endearing
Although the laugh's on me
Even though she's mocking me, I'm willing to endure it because I love her
I'll sing to her, bring spring to her
I'll try to make her happy and bring joy into her life
And long, for the day when I'll cling to her
I eagerly anticipate the day when I can hold on to her and be near her
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
I'm still under her spell, feeling troubled and perplexed by my love for her
