Written by J. Fred Coots with words by Haven Gillespie in 1938, it was recorded by Billie Holiday and many others.
The words
A lover compares the giddy effect of the person he adores to being intoxicated.
The singer describes being so taken with someone that it feels like drinking too much, a pleasant dizziness he cannot shake off. The song is sensual and a little woozy, full of images of intoxication. Dylan's version is slow and smoky, with the band laying down a hushed backdrop that suits its late-night, slightly tipsy mood.
