Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head
There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know
You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed
You fascinate me so
[Verse 2]
I feel like Christopher Columbus when I'm near enough to contemplate
The sweet geography descending from your eyebrow to your toe
The possibilities are more than I can possibly enumerate
That's why you fascinate me so
[Verse 3]
So sermonize and preach to me
Make your sanctimonious little speech to me
But oh, my darlin', you'll forgive my inability to concentrate
I think I'm dealing with a powder keg that's just about to blow
Will the end result deflate me, or will you annihilate me?
You fascinate me so
[Verse 4]
I have a feeling that beneath that little halo on your noble head
There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know
Oh, well, you're like the finish of a novel
That I'll finally have to take to bed
Oh, you fascinate me so
[Verse 5]
I feel like Christopher Columbus when I'm near enough to contemplate
The sweet geography descending from your eyebrow to your toe
The possibilities are more than I can possibly enumerate
Baby, that's why you fascinate me so
[Verse 6]
Sermonize at me, preach to me
Make your sanctimonious little speech to me
But oh, my darlin', you'll forgive my inability to concentrate
I think I'm dealing with a powder keg that's just about to blow
Oh, will the end result deflate me, or will you annihilate me?
You aggravate me, you irritate me
You fascinate me so
[Verse 7]
You do, you do, you do, you do
You do, you do, you do, you do
