Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keepin' my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life
Cuttin' its way through my dreams like a knife
Turnin' me up and turnin' me down
Makin' me smile and makin' me frown
[Verse 2]
In a world that was old
I once lived in a time
There was peace with no trouble at all
But then you came my way
And a feelin' that known
Shook my heart, made me want you to stay
All of my nights and all of my days
I gotta tell you now
[Verse 3]
Something's gotten hold of my hand
Draggin' my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah, something has invaded my nights
Paintin' my sleep with a color so bright
Changin' the gray, changin' the blue
Scarlet for me and scarlet for you
[Verse 4]
I've got to know if this is the real thing
I've got to know what's makin' my heart sing, whoa, yeah
You smile, and I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every hour, every day
You touch me and my mind goes astray
[Verse 5]
And, baby
And, baby
[Verse 6]
Something's gotten hold of my hand
Draggin' my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah, somethin' has invaded my nights
Paintin' my sleep with a color so bright
Changin' the gray and changin' the blue
Scarlet for me and scarlet for you
