Music by Richard Rodgers
Words by Lorenz Hart
Published/1941
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 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
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
