= LYRICS =
I put a spell on you
'cause you're mine
You better stop the things you do
I ain't lyin'
No I ain't lyin'
You know I can't stand it
You're runnin' around
You know better daddy
I can't stand it cause you put me down
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You're mine
I love ya
I love you
I love you
I love you anyhow
And I don't care
If you don't want me
I'm yours right now
You hear me
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
