something's gotten hold of my heart

keeping my soul and my senses apart

something's gotten into my life

cutting its way through my dreams like the night

turning me up turning me down

making me smile and making me frown

in a world that was small

i once lived in a time that was peace

with no trouble at all

but then you came my way

and a feeling i know shook my heart

made me want you to stay

all of my nights and all of my days

yeah i gotta tell ya now

something's gotten hold of my hand

dragging my soul to a beautiful land

and something has invaded my night

painting my sleep with the colours so bright

changing the grey, changing the blue

scarlet for me and scarlet for you

i've got to know if this is the real thing

i've got to know what's making my heart sing

whoa yeah, you smile and i am lost for a lifetime

every minute spent with you is the right time

every hour yeah every day yeah

you touch me and my mind goes astray

and baby, and baby

something got a hold of my hand

dragging my soul to a beautiful

dragging my soul to a beautiful land

yeah something has invaded my night

painting my sleep with the colours so bright
