Lyrics:
VERSE
I was mighty blue,
Thought my life was through,
Till the heavens opened,
And I gazed at you.
Won’t you tell me, dear,
Why, when you appear,
Something happens to me
And the strangest feeling goes through me?
REFRAIN
You do something to me.
Something that simply mystifies me.
Tell me, why should it be
You have the pow’r to hypnotize me?
Let me live ‘neath your spell,
Do do that voodoo that you do so well,
For you do something to me
That nobody else could do.
REPEAT REFRAIN
