Lyrics
Last night — two lips were pressed to mine
Red lips — sweeter than red, red wine
My senses still are tipsy — after the night before
I’m feeling so dipsy and tipsy — more and more [original lyric: I’m feeling like a tipsy gypsy — more and more]
Chorus
Oh, what a strange sensation
What is this intoxication?
I know — my heart has gone to my head.
When I see stars at daytime
And flowers before it’s Maytime
I know — my heart has gone to my head.
You gave me one kiss, but that kiss was one too many.
Now I hear music when I know there isn’t any.
What is this strange sensation
This thrill of intoxication?
It’s love — my heart has gone to my head.
