Lyrics to the song I Put A Spell On You as recorded by Bryan Ferry. 

Words & Music By Hawkins

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine 
Because you're mine
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Because you're mine

You gotta stop the things you do
I ain't lying
You better stop the things you do
I ain't lying
I just can't stand it babe
I just can't stand it babe
I just can't stand it babe
I just can't stand it

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Because you're mine

(I put a spell on you, because you're mine)

I put a spell on you
I put a spell on you
You've gotta stop the things you do
You've gotta stop the things you do
You've gotta stop the things
Stop the things
Stop the things

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Because you're mine
Because you're mine
