You better stop the thing that you're doin'
I said, "Watch out, I ain't lyin'", yeah
I ain't gonna take none of your, foolin' around
I ain't gonna take none of your, puttin' me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine, all right
I put a spell on you, because you're mine
I said, "Watch out, I ain't lyin'", yeah
I ain't gonna take none of your, foolin' around
I ain't gonna take none of your, puttin' me down
I put a spell on you because you're mine, all right and I took it down
The song "I Put a Spell on You" by Creedence Clearwater Revival is an intense and passionate expression of love and dependency. The chorus "I put a spell on you because you're mine" suggest that the singer has placed some kind of supernatural power over the person they love, possessing them like a spell. The singer demands that their loved one stops whatever they are doing and pay attention to them by giving a warning that they are not lying. The verses show that the singer won't tolerate being mistreated or taken advantage of, and that their love is now an unbreakable bond.
The song speaks to how love can be overwhelming and possessive, with the singer using supernatural imagery to express their desire to control the object of their affection. The repeated use of "because you're mine" emphasizes the intensity and sincerity of their feelings. The warning in the chorus suggests that if the object of the singer's affection doesn't listen or obey, they will face serious consequences, highlighting the extremes people will go to when they're in love.

I listen to this in 2024 and I think...God, I really hate today's music!!!!
@ClausJesup
Hate will only eat up your soul piece by piece. I found it is much more agreeable to simply ignore today's music. Just pretend it isn't there and stick to old gems such as this one here.

It's not music what they making today, the only porpoise is making money and the "songs" are just without emotions and sense. Nothing can beat the old real music, the one give you emotions!❤
