Someone’s Got a Hold of My Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They say, "Eat, 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 [Verse 2] Getting harder and harder to recognize the trap Too much information about nothing Too much educated rap Just like you told me, it's just like you said it would be [Verse 3] Well, the moon goin' over like wildfire I feel the breath of a storm There's something I got to do tonight You go inside and stay warm [Chorus] Someone got a hold of my heart Someone got a hold of my heart Someone got a hold of my heart You, you, you, you, you got a hold of my heart [Verse 4] Just got back from a city, city of red skies Everybody thinks with their stomach And there's plenty of spies Every street is crooked, they just wind around until they disappear [Verse 5] Madame Butterfly, she lulled me to sleep Like an ancient river So wide and so deep She said, "Be easy, baby, ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here" [Verse 6] You're the one I've been waiting for You're the one I desire But you must realize first I'm not another man for hire [Chorus] Someone got a hold of my heart Someone got a hold of my heart Someone got a hold of my heart You, you, you, you, you got a hold of my heart [Verse 7] I can hear that hot-blooded singer On the bandstand croon "Poisoned Love", "Red Roses for a Blue Lady" and "Memphis in June" While they're beating the devil out of a guy who's wearin' a powder blue wig [Verse 8] I've been to Babylon And I've got to confess I can still hear the voice cryin' 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 [Chorus] Someone got a hold of my heart Someone got a hold of my heart Someone got a hold of my heart You, you, you, you, you got a hold of my heart Oh yeah
