You Go to My Head
elena Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You go to my head
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
Like the kicker in a julep or two

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

Y’all Think Elena’s Bad Without Her Humanity? Imagine KATHERINE Without Her Humanity 🤦🏾‍♀️

Mariana CC

I think Katherine without humanity maybe was Katherine when arrive to mistic falls the first time before knowing Damon and Stefan , because she was really bad there, cold hearted and reckless (the reckless is the clue, she is smart after all) and she maybe turned on the switch while been with the Salvatores (that is the reason I explain why she was take it back a little by the Stefan feelings and become attached to him, ignoring a little the doppelganger thing or well she develop feelings and the switch turn on )

MEMEs MEMES

tbh Katherine without her humanity would be the same Kathrine lit has no emotion

Shreya Ghosh
