Something's gotten hold of my heart

Gene Pitney
Música y Letra: Roger Cook & Roger Greenaway


Something's gotten hold of my heart
keeping my soul and my senses apart.
Something's gotten into my life
cutting its way through my dreams like a knife,
turning me up, turning me down,
making me smile and making me frown.

In a world that was small,
I once lived in a time that was peace
with no trouble at all,
but then you came my way
and a feeling unknown shook my heart
made me want you to stay,
all of my nights and all of my days.

Yeah, I gotta tell you now
something's gotten hold of my hand
dragging my soul to a beautiful land.
Yeah, something has invaded my nights
painting my sleep with a colour so bright,
changing the grey, changing the blue,
scarlet for me and scarlet for you.

I've got to know if this is the real thing.
I've got to know what's making my heart sing, woah yeah.
You smile and I'm lost for a lifetime.
Each minute spent with you is the right time.
Every hour, yeah, every day, yeah.
You touch me and my mind goes astray.
And baby, yeah.
And baby, yeah.

Something's gotten hold of my hand
dragging my soul to a beautiful land.
Yeah, something has invaded my nights
painting my sleep with a colour so bright.
