You went to my head
Like the scent of perfume in a stuffy room
But even more

You went to my head
Like an ice cream soda on a summer's day
But even more

You went to my feet,
I couldn't walk, I was petrified
I was so scared, I would not have dared
To talk, I was tongue tied

You went to my head
Like a comb that's looking for a part
When you went to my head, baby
You went right to my heart.

Maxine Sullivan

You went to my head
Like a fizzy soda in a soda store
But even more

You went to my head
Like the scent  perfume in a stuffy room
But even more

You went to my feet, I couldn't walk,
'cos I was petrified
I was so scared, wouldn't have dared to talk
I was tongue tied

You went to my head
Like a comb that's looking for a part
When you went to my head, baby
You went right to my heart

When I first met you, I knew
That I would never, never be the same again
What a job you did, you really should be proud
Because I took one look, and then

You went to my head
Like the haunting music of a Berlin score
But even more

You went to my head
Like the scent of flowers in a flower store
But even more

You went to my head
I got the shakes, gee what an awful shock
One little squeeze, and then my knees
Began to go knock, knock

You went to my head
Like a sneeze that's just about to start
When you went to my head
Baby, you went right to my heart.
