I Found You
Animal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I put a spell on you because you're mine
You better stop the things that you do
I ain't lyin', no, I ain't lyin'
I just can't stand it babe
The way you're always runnin' 'round
I just can't stand it, the way you always put me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine
I put a spell on you because you're mine
You better stop the things that you do
I ain't lyin', no, I ain't lyin'
I just can't stand it babe
The way you're always runnin' 'round
I just can't stand it, the way you always put me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine




I put a spell on you. I put a spell on you
I put a spell on you. I put a spell on you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Animal's song "I Found You" are actually a cover of the classic blues song "I Put a Spell on You," originally written by Screamin' Jay Hawkins in 1956. The song is about a man who is so in love with a woman that he feels like he has put a spell on her, and he can't stand the way she treats him. He warns her to stop the things she is doing, like running around and putting him down, or else he will continue to put a spell on her. The repetition of the song's title is meant to emphasize the power that the man feels he has over the woman.


The lyrics to "I Put a Spell on You" have been widely interpreted over the years. Some see it as an ode to the power of love, while others view it as a warning against possessiveness and obsession. Some have even connected the lyrics to voodoo and black magic. Regardless of the interpretation, the song's haunting melody and raw vocals have made it a timeless classic.

@yen Erm... define "okay"?

For my standards, heck yeah... Possibly better than ever.

But for like "normal standards"? No. Nor should you ever expect me to be.

Asking an Autistic, medically depressed, medical anxiety riddled, phobia filled, probably severely cPSTD person if they're okay is like asking a schizophrenic if they're "okay"...

I mean, yeah they can be "doing great for them" but they're never "fully okay" by neurotypical standards. Too much is inherently broken to begin with.
