Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You go to my head
And you linger like a hauntin' refrain
And I find you spinnin' round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
[Verse 2]
You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
[Verse 3]
The thrill of the thought
That you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
But I say it to myself, "Get ahold of yourself"
Can't you see that it never can be?
[Verse 4]
You go to my head
With a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
[Verse 5]
And I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head
Written by: Haven Gillespie, J. Fred Coots
