Simon, Carly - Bewitched Lyrics






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 week
Since this half pint imitation's
Put me on the blink

I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

I couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
Until love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

Oh I lost my heart but what of it
He is home I am free
Oh but he can laugh and I love it
Although the laugh's on me

I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And worship the trousers that cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the day I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I

Simon, Carly Bewitched Comments
  1. M.... C....

    Great 👍

  2. P.... F....

    love Carly. and i love this song. She sings it great. Looks great. Some commentators for some reason had to say they preferred Ella's interpretation better. Well Ella does sing it great too. Completely different styles. Not cool to compare. As much as i love Carly's version, if we had to compare, try Frank's version with Nelson Riddle. Not saying it's better, but worth listening to.

  3. D.... G....

    I miss liner notes. Beautiful rendition. I’d love to know whose arrangement was used!

  4. �.... ....

    好きな歌手だ😃。でもジャズを歌って間もないね。😁ずっと続けて欲しい‼️😃サンキュー、ナイス👊😃💕

  5. R.... B....

    Beautiful lady with a beautiful song. It reminds me of my Mom and Dad back during WW2.

  6. k.... ....

    I wish they had a karaoke/instrumental of this

  7. G.... H....

    From the first note, I know it is Carly Simon. 1976 -- Farmer's Market Los Angeles and I'm deciding on a basket of strawberries and "the voice" behind me says -- "oh, I like that one".... thank you CS!

  8. e.... ....

    When Carly discovered her affinity for this repertoire we all discovered that she was a far greater singer than anyone had ever imagined. Splendid performance Ms. Simon!

  9. J.... T....

    Carly has that rarest of talents that allows her to make the simplest of songs into a masterpiece. She is still a shining star at the peak of her abilities.

    J.... T....

    This is no simple song. The wonderfully touching lyric is something of a masterpiece in its own way. Just read those extraordinarily emotionally truthful and literate lyrics.

  10. a.... t....

    Sou fa de carteirinha de Carly , ela e especial, sua voz e interpretaçoes sao unicas.

  11. C.... ....

    I like Ella's version but Carly makes the most beautiful rendition of it , and with all due respect but this arrangement is the most beautiful I've ever heard of this song. Many have recorded it but nothing compares to Carly's.

  12. J.... R....

    I cannot put into words how wonderful her music is, and I find her mesmerising !

  13. J.... W....

    Yuck. Pretentious. Going back to Linda Ronstadt.

  14. L.... C....

    ELA SIMPLISMENTE TOCA O MEU CORAÇÃO

  15. L.... C....

    Ela é maravilhosa

  16. L.... C....

    she's so elegant
    Amazing coice
    charm
    i Love Carly
    because i am brazilian fan of her
    .

  17. M.... L....

    love the song Carly rocks it sooo sexy ...............
    MISS ELLA stands alone with this
    but you might want check out GAGA ..... and ROD & CHER all class

  18. B.... B....

    I'm also Bewitched , Bothered , and Bewildered

  19. C.... Q....

    She should have sung the sexy lyrics.

    C.... Q....

    Clare Quilty which lyrics?

    C.... Q....

    @PapaWilk   The original lyrics are sexier.  You can watch Stockard Channing or Madeline Kahn (and others) sing them on YouTube clips.  For example: "Couldn't sleep, Wouldn't sleep, Until I could sleep where I SHOULDN'T sleep."  And there's an interesting play on that line about the boy being a laugh and the laugh is ON her.  Nothing wrong with Carly Simon's version, even Ella Fitzgerald sang the cleaned-up lyrics, though.

    C.... Q....

    Thanks for the response! I'm going to look them up right now.

  20. S.... C....

    this is one of my fave jazz songs...the lyrics isn't so positive like we want it to be...but the sound is fab! Love this song..i really do :D

  21. t.... ....

    Go brecker!

  22. B.... B....

  26. p.... ....

    She does this better than anyone I 've heard so far. 

    p.... ....

    +puzzletop Ella I feel does it best.

    p.... ....

    Ella Fitzgerald sang it better than anyone.

  27. d.... ....

    My speakers are two quivering puddles on my desk now.  Sigh.

  28. C.... M....

    good...but my fave is Ella Fitzgerald's version...just sayin...

  29. C.... K....

    nice version but take a look at dc supply's version!!

  30. M.... G....

    One of the best renditions I know

  31. G.... A....

    @airkooled05 It's on "My Romance" - go to t * co / eZzrweOQ :)

  32. C.... M....

    @sc1david Ohhhhhhhhh, dreamy wonderful music, and yes a Great Arangement, and that sexy Sax!!! My Dad was in a band starting in the 40's so this is the sound I grew up with. Nat "The King Cole", Ella, Nelson Riddle, Glen Miller, love Tex and the Modenaires, Sanatra singing "Let it Snow". The Best!! Caryl McD

  33. s.... ....

    Good Sound & Good Arangement & Good Tsax Solo!(michael brecker?)

  34. p.... ....
