Ashanti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's up?
You've reached Ashanti
Leave me a numeric message or a voice message
And I'll get back to you later
Hey, girl, what's up? It's me
Yo, man, remember, your friend?
Man, I've been calling you for the past three weeks
You never returned any of my calls
What happened? I thought I was gonna see you at the spot last night
Yo, everybody's asking for you
And you-know-who, he was looking for you like crazy
Man, what's going on?
What's come over you?

I don't know what's come over me
I don't know, I don't know what's come over me
I don't know what's come over me
I don't know, I don't know what's come over me

Because I never felt like this
I don't wanna be wrong 'cause I like it
Thinking about the way you kiss
I don't wanna be wrong, but I like it
I think you stole my heart from me
See, I don't wanna be wrong 'cause I like it
'Cause I belong to somebody
Even though it seems wrong, I can't fight it
It almost feels as if I'm not myself
Under a spell from someone else
I think I'm falling for somebody else
And I can't control myself
It's like some kind of hex on me
Controlling who I love and how I speak
And when he's gone, my heart won't beat
Tell me what's come over me

I don't know what's come over me (over me, over me)
I don't know, I don't know what's come over me
I don't know what's come over me (over me, over me)
I don't know, I don't know what's come over me

Because I never felt like this
I don't wanna be wrong 'cause I like it
Thinking about the way you kiss
I don't wanna be wrong, but I like it
You got me thinking I should leave
See, I don't wanna be wrong 'cause I like it
But I belong to somebody
Even though it seems wrong, I can't fight it
I know that I already have a love
He's all I know and all I trust
But lately, I've been falling out of love
I find myself so deep in love
And every time he's here with me
I look into his eyes so desperately
But now, it's not his face I see
Tell me what's come over me

I don't know what's come over me (over me, over me)
I don't know, I don't know what's come over me
I don't know what's come over me (over me, over me)
I don't know, I don't know what's come over me

(I don't know, I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know, I don't know, I don't know)
I just don't know what's come over me (I don't know, I don't know)
(I don't know, I don't know, I don't know)
It's like something is taking (I don't know, I don't know)
Complete control of me (I don't know, I don't know, I don't know)
(I don't know, I don't know)
I can't function, I'm not me (I don't know, I don't know, I don't know)

I don't know what's come over me (over me, over me)
I don't know, I don't know what's come over me
I don't know what's come over me (over me, over me)
I don't know, I don't know what's come over me
I don't know what's come over me (over me, over me)
I don't know, I don't know what's come over me (what's come over me)
I don't know what's come over me (over me, over me)




I don't know, I don't know what's come over me
(I don't know, I don't know, I don't know)

Overall Meaning

The song "VooDoo" by Ashanti explores the idea of falling in love unexpectedly and being unable to control the feelings that come with it. The song's narrator is falling deeply in love with someone who is not her partner and is struggling with the guilt and confusion that comes with it. The chorus repeats the line "I don't know what's come over me" which indicates the singer's feeling of being overwhelmed by her emotions.


The lyrics also mention the idea of a hex or some outside force that is influencing the singer's feelings. This theme ties into the concept of voodoo, which is a religious practice that originated in West Africa and involves the use of spells and other rituals to influence events and people. The use of this imagery adds to the sense of the singer being out of control and feeling as though someone or something else is responsible for her emotions.
