Something's Gotten A Hold Of My Heart - Gene Pitney

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, making me frown

In a world that was war

I once lived in a time

That was peace

With no trouble at all

But then you came my way

And a feeling i know

Shook my heart

And made me want you to stay

All of my nights

And all of my days

I wanna tell you now

Something’s gotten hold of my hand

Dragging my soul to a beautiful land

Something’s invaded my night

Painting my sleep with a colour so bright

Changing the grey, changing the blue

Scarlet for me, 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, oh yeah

A smile and i am 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

Something’s gotten into my life

Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife

Turning me up, turning me down

Making me smile, making me frown

In a world that was war

I once lived in a time

That was peace

With no trouble at all

But then you, you, you

Came my way

And a feeling i know

Shook my heart

And made me want you to stay

All of my nights

And all of my days

Something’s gotten hold of my heart

Keeping my soul and my senses apart

Something’s invaded my night

Painting my sleep with a colour so bright

Changing the grey, changing the blue

Scarlet for me, scarlet for you
