Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting it's way through my dreams like a knife.

Turning me up, turning me down
Making me smile, making me frown.

In a world that was war
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.

I wanna tell you now something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah, something has invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright.

Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me, 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, ohoho, yeah.

A smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every hour, yeah, every day, yeah
You touch me and my mind goes astray.

And, baby, yeah (2x).

Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah, something's gotten into my life
Cutting it's way through my dreams like a knife.

Turning me up, turning me down
Making me smile, making me frown.

In a world that was war (In a world that was war)
I once lived in a time that was peace
With no trouble at all.

But then you, you, you
You came my way (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, yeah.

I wanna tell you now something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Yeah, something has invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright.

Changing the grey, changing the blue
Scarlet for me and scarlet for you.
