Lena Horne
Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
After one whole quart of brandy
Like a daisy I'm awake
With no Bromo Seltzer handy
I don't even shake
Men are not a new sensation
I've done pretty well I think
But this half pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again, beguiled again
A whimpering, simpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me, I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
I lost my heart, but what of it, he is cold I agree
He might laugh, but I love it, although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, bring spring to him
And long, for the day when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
He's a fool and don't I know it
But a fool can have his charms
I'm in love and don't I know it
Like a babe in arms
Love's the same old sad sensation
Lately I've not slept a wink
Since this half pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I've sinned a lot, I mean a lot
But I'm like sweet seventeen a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And worship the trousers that cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
When he talks, he is seeking
Words to get,.off his chest
Horizontally speaking
He's at his very best
Vexed again, perplexed again
Thank god I can be oversexed again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Wise at last, my eyes at last
Are cutting you down to your size at last
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
Burned a lot but learned a lot
And now you are broke so you earned a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
Couldn't eat, was dyspeptic
Life was so hard to bear
Now my heart's antiseptic
Since you moved out of there
Romance finis
Your chance finis
Those ants that invaded my pants finis
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
