I PUT A SPELL ON YOU
As sung by Screamin' Jay Hawkins

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine.
Stop the things you do.
Watch out! I ain't lyin'.
I can't stand no runnin' aroun'.
I can't stand no puttin' me down.
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine.

Stop the things you do
Watch out! I ain't lyin'.
I love you. I love you. I love you.
I don't care if you don't want me;
I'm yours right now.
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine, mine, mine!
