Bewitched
The Rat Pack 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 sad sensation
Lately, I've not slept a wink
Since this silly situation
I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I
Couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep
Then love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am 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 Rat Pack's song "Bewitched" is a heartfelt confession of love and infatuation. The song's lyrics are about a man who has fallen deeply in love with a woman who he knows is a fool, but he can't resist her charms. He's lost sleep over this silly situation, but he can't help himself; he's bewitched, bothered, and bewildered. The lyrics are an expression of the ups and downs of being in love, the joy and the pain. The songwriter puts the feelings of the man into words that reflect the intensity of his emotions.
The lyrics describe the man as a simpering, whimpering child, as someone who is completely overtaken by love's power. He sings that he couldn't sleep, but then love came and told him he shouldn't sleep. He's lost his heart to someone who he admits is cold, but he still loves her for it. The writer uses contrasting imagery to convey the feelings of the man: he'll sing to her, bring spring to her, but at the same time, he longs to cling to her. The song's final line sums up the man's state of mind: bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I.
Overall, the lyrics of the song describe the all-consuming power of love: how it can make even a strong man weak, how it can make someone feel like they can't live without their beloved, and how it can be both a blessing and a curse. The song's emotional depth and poetic language make it a classic and a testament to the enduring nature of love.
