You Go To My Head
The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
The thrill of the thought
That you might give a thought to my plea, cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be?
You go to my head
With a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand July's
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head
The Rat Pack's You Go To My Head is a love song about someone who is perpetually in their head over their love interest. The singer describes how their love interest lingers in their head like a "haunting refrain" that they cannot shake off. Even when they try to get a grip on themselves and their emotions, they find themselves intoxicated by the mere thought of their love interest.
The song uses champagne as a metaphor for the love interest's effect on the singer - the bubbles of the champagne represent the continuous and unrelenting presence of the love interest in their mind, while the "sparkling burgundy brew" is a symbol of the love interest's allure, charm, and beauty. The singer is fully aware that their love interest is likely unattainable - that they "never can be" together - but they cannot seem to help themselves from getting lost in the intoxicating experience of loving them.
The song used metaphors to effectively convey the message of how the love interest deeply affects the singer. The references to champagne in the lyrics add an element of glamour and luxury to the song, while the use of the word "haunting" conveys a sense of obsession and inescapability.
