Hazel, dirty blonde hair
I wouldn’t be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere
You got something I want plenty of
Ooh, a little touch of your love.

Hazel, stardust in your eye
You’re going somewhere and so am I
I’d give you the sky high above
Ooh, for a touch of your love.

Oh no, I don’t need any reminder
To know how much I really care
But it’s just making me blinder and blinder
Because I am up on the hill and still you’re not there.

Hazel, you called and I came
Now don’t make me play this waiting game
You’ve got something I want plenty of
Ooh, a little touch of your love.

About Lyrics and Hazel by Bob Dylan

The lyrics to Hazel are just the words, phrases, verses and chorus that Bob Dylan used when the song was created in 1974. The lyrics to Hazel have both easy-to-spot meanings and hidden metaphors that have been discussed by the music press and fans, but only Bob Dylan and any collaborators know all of the inspirations for the song.

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to Hazel by Bob Dylan. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Hazel" means the words set to the music of Hazel, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Bob Dylan. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Hazel and the lyrics to Hazel are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Bob Dylan who came here looking just for the lyrics to Hazel, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
