I Put a Spell on You (Screamin' Jay Hawkins cover) Lyrics

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine

Stop the things you do
I ain't lying

Yeah, I can't stand
Whoa, no running around
I can't stand
No putting me down

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine

Stop the things you do
I ain't lying

Oh, no
I love you
I love you
I love you, anyhow
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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The meaning is pretty self-explanatory, although I'm thinking that the singer's "spell" isn't very effective if the guy is still running around on her. She is engaging in deluded, wishful thinking.

At first, I wasn't that crazy about this version, but it has grown on me. I still think CCR's version is the best one, though.
