Voodoo Doll
5 Seconds of Summer Lyrics

I don't even like you,
I have no romantic interest in you and I do not understand how I came to feel this way.

Why did you want to go and make me feel this way?
I am confused as to why your actions have led me to develop these strong feelings for you.

I don't understand what's happened,
I cannot comprehend how I have become so enamored with you despite my lack of initial interest.

I keep saying things I never say.
I am finding myself expressing feelings and desires that I typically do not experience or vocalize.

I can feel you watching even when you're nowhere to be seen,
Your presence and influence seem to extend beyond your physical surroundings, and I feel as though you are always with me in some sense.

I can feel you touching even when you're far away from me.
Your emotional impact on me is even stronger than physical touch, and I constantly feel your presence no matter how far apart we may be.

Tell me where you're hiding your voodoo doll
Please explain to me what it is that you are doing to make me feel this way about you, as though you have some sort of mystical control over my emotions.

'Cause I can't control myself,
I am feeling overwhelmed and unable to regulate my emotional responses to you.

I don't wanna stay, I wanna run away
Despite my strong feelings for you, I am beginning to feel like I need to distance myself and escape from this situation.

But I'm trapped under your spell.
Despite my desires to distance myself, I feel like I cannot break free from my feelings for you.

And it hurts in my head and my heart and my chest,
These intense emotions are causing me physical pain and discomfort.

And I'm having trouble catching my breath.
My emotional state is so intense that I am finding it difficult to breathe normally.

Won't you please stop loving me to death?
I am beginning to feel like this intense emotional attachment to you is dangerous and potentially harmful.

I don't even see my friends no more
My focus has become so singularly directed towards you that I am neglecting other important aspects of my life, such as friendships.

'Cause I keep hanging out with you
You are occupying so much of my time and attention that I have little time left for anyone or anything else.

I don't know how you kept me up all night
You are so engaging and captivating that I find myself staying up late into the night thinking about you and our interactions.

Or how I got this tattoo
I am so consumed by my feelings for you that I have taken a permanent physical symbol of our connection, but I am unsure if this is something I actually want.

Every time I see you,
Your presence has an almost immediate effect on my emotional state and physical well-being.

Suddenly my heart begins to race,
My heart rate increases dramatically in response to your presence, even if I had been feeling calm or relaxed previously.

Every time I leave,
Even when you are not physically with me, the emotional impact of our interactions lingers and affects me deeply.

I don't know why my heart begins to break
Despite the positive feelings I have towards you, there is a sense of sadness or pain that is also triggered by your presence or absence.
