Linda Ronstadt

Songwriter: Richard Rodgers Lorenz Hart

Producer: Peter Asher

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 show 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'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Lost my heart but what of it
He is cold I agree
He can laugh but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him each spring to him
And long for the day when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Men are not a new sensation
I've done pretty well I think
But this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I've seen a lot, I mean a lot
But now I'm like sweet seventeen a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
