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
