Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart

Terry Reid


Something's gotten hold of my heart 
Tearing my soul and my senses apart 
Something's gotten into my life, cutting 
its way through my dreams like a knife 
Turning me up and turning me down 
Making me laugh and making me frown 
In a world that was war(strong) 
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 
And made me want you to stay 
All of my nights and all of my days 

Something's gotten hold of my heart 
Tearing my soul and my senses apart 
Something's gotten into my life, cutting 
its way through my dreams like a knife 
Changing the grey to a depression blue 
Scarlet for me, it's 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, oh yeah 
Turn around and I am lost for a lifetime 
Each minute spent 
with you is the lifetime 
Every hour, every day 
You touch me and my mind goes astray 

Gotta tell you 
Something's gotten hold of my heart 
Tearing my soul 
and my senses wide apart 
Something's gotten into my life, cutting 
its way through my dreams like a knife 
Changing the grey, changing the blue 
Scarlet for me, it's scarlet for you
