Someone's got a hold of my heart
C#m D#m E
You, you, you, you
E
You got a hold of my heart.
Just got back from a city, city of powder blue skies
Everybody thinks with their stomach and there's plenty of spies
Every street is crooked, they just wind around till they disappear.
Madame Butterfly, she lulls me to sleep
Like an ancient river so wide and deep
She said, "Be easy, baby, ain't nothin' worth stealin' here."
You're the one I've been waitin' for
You're the one I desire
But you must first realize
I'm not another man for hire.
Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
You, you, you, you
You got a hold of my heart.
I can hear the hot-blooded singer on the bandstand croon
September Song, Memphis in June
While they're beating the devil out of a guy who's wearing a flaming red wig.
I been to Babylon and I gotta confess
I can still hear that voice crying in the wilderness
What looks large from a distance, close up is never that big.
Never could learn to drink that blood and call it wine
Never could learn to look at your face and call it mine.
Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
Someone's got a hold of my heart
You, you, you, you
You got a hold of my heart.
Oh yeah!
