Someone's Got a Hold of My Heart

They say "Drink and be merry, Take the bull by the horns." I keep seeing visions of you, a lily among thorns Everything looks a little far away to me Gettin' harder and harder to recognize the trap Too much information about nothin' Too much educated rap It's just like you told me, just like you said it would be The moon rising like wildfire I feel the breath of a storm Something I got to do tonight You go inside and stay warm 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- Yeah, you got a hold of my heart Just got back from a city of powder blue skies Everybody thinks with their stomach 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 Yeah, you got a hold of my heart I 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 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- Yeah, you got a hold of my heart
