[English]

Wrapped me in your arms

Leaned in and whispered

“Keep me in your heart”

I’m so bewildered

What’s this new desire called?

I didn’t know that much at all

‘Bout love before

But now I think I’m learning

You bewitched me

From the first time that you kissed me

Waited all night

Then we ran down the street

In the late London light

The world froze around us

You kissed me goodnight

You bewitch me

Every damn second you're with me

I try to think straight

But I’m falling so badly

I’m coming apart

You wrote me a note

Cast a spell on my heart

And bewitched me

Bewitched me

You’re not even gone

I already miss you

What’s going on?

I’ve never been through

This all consuming, fire fuming

Cursing at the moon and losing

All control and crying

'Cause I think I'm falling

You bewitched me

From the first time that you kissed me

Waited all night

Then we ran down the street

In the late London light

The world froze around us

You kissed me goodnight

You bewitch me

Every damn second you're with me

I try to think straight

But I’m falling so badly

I’m coming apart

You wrote me a note

Cast a spell on my heart

And bewitched me

Bewitched

You bewitched me
