Bewitched
The Romantic Strings & Orchestra 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 Romantic Strings and Orchestra's song "Bewitched" is a timeless classic that tells the story of a man who is utterly infatuated with a woman he knows is a fool, yet is still beguiled by her charms. He is helplessly in love with her, like a child who can't help but show his affection. The lyrics express the same old situation of love that always keeps one awake at night, and even crazy at times. Love makes him wild, beguiled, and simpering like a child. The man is bewildered by her, but he can't help but be captivated by her beauty.
The song expresses the ugly truth of love, where one can lose their heart to someone who might not feel the same. He knows that she is cold, but he can't resist her laugh, even if it's at his expense. He dreams of being with her, singing to her, and bringing spring to her. The man longs for the day when he can finally cling to her, despite her being the source of his confusion and bewilderment.
Overall, "Bewitched" is a beautiful portrayal of the ups and downs of love. It shows how one can be bewitched, bothered, and bewildered by someone they know isn't good for them. But despite that, they still cling on to the hope of one day being with the person they love.
Line by Line Meaning
She's a fool and don't I know it
Despite knowing that she may not be the brightest, I am still entranced by her
But a fool can have her charms
Even though she may lack intellect, she is still alluring
I'm in love and don't I show it
I cannot hide my love for her
Like a babe in arms
I am completely vulnerable and under her spell
Love's the same old situation
This feeling of love is not new or unique
Lately I've not slept a wink
The intensity of my emotions has hindered my ability to sleep
Since this crazy situation
Because of this unexpected love
Has me on the blink
I am feeling disoriented and not myself
I'm wild again, beguiled again
I am overcome with strong emotions and entranced by her
A whimpering, simpering child again
I feel helpless and immature in the face of this love
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
I am completely under her spell and consumed by these overpowering feelings
Couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep
My love for her has made me restless and unable to sleep
Love came and told me, shouldn't sleep
I am so consumed by my love for her that it is as if love itself is advising me not to sleep
I lost my heart, but what of it
I have given her my heart, regardless of how she may treat it
She is cold I agree
I acknowledge that she may not reciprocate my affections
She might laugh, but I love it
Even if she were to laugh at my feelings, I would still love her
Although the laugh's on me
Even if it is at my own expense, I cannot help but love her
I'll sing to her, bring spring to her
I will try to woo her and make her happy, as if bringing new life and vitality to her
And long, for the day when I'll cling to her
I eagerly await the day when I can be close to her and hold her
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I
I am completely under her spell and consumed by these overpowering feelings
