Voodoo
David Davis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something's in my water darlin
Before you go, know what you started
Hot n' cold, you're nothing less than mystic Yeah
You're so bad, I call you trouble
I try n' leave, the hex gets doubled
Easy come, easy go
Once you take all control
I didn't know my heart was in it
Must be the needle in my chest
Bet you did it, bet you did it
Every time I lose my way
Every step I must obey
You give me the Voodoo
You give me the Voodoo
Da vo-oo-do
You give me voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo
You give me voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo
Every time I lose my way
Every step I must obey
You give me the Voodoo
You give me the Voodoo
The Voodoo
Caught up in your superstition
Your silhouette is something vicious
Ya rub me like a genie in a bottle
Howlin' at the full moon witcha
Turns you on, the air gets thicker
Livin on your string is worth the struggle
Easy come, easy go
Once you take all control
I didn't know my heart was in it
Must be the needle in my chest
Bet you did it, bet you did it
Every time I lose my way
Every step I must obey
You give me the Voodoo
You give me the Voodoo
The Voodoo
You give me voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo
You give me voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo
Every time I lose my way
Every step I must obey
You give me the Voodoo
You give me the Voodoo
The Voodoo
Give me that Voodoo baby
Give me that Voodoo baby
Give me that Voodoo baby
I didn't know my heart was in it
Must be the needle in my chest
Bet you did it, bet you did it
Every time I lose my way
Every step I must obey
You give me the Voodoo
You give me the Voodoo
The Voodoo
You give me voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo
You give me voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo, da voodoo
Every time I lose my way
Every step I must obey
You give me the voodoo
You give me the voodoo
The Voodoo
The song "Voodoo" by David Davis is a tale of being under the spell of a mysterious and alluring person, who has the power to control and manipulate their partner. The lyrics portray the dilemma of the singer, who is aware of the dangerous nature of their relationship but finds themselves unable to resist their partner's allure. The repeated refrain of "you give me the voodoo" highlights the idea of being controlled and manipulated by the other person, with the singer feeling powerless and at the mercy of their partner's charm.
The use of the word "voodoo" in the chorus is particularly evocative, bringing to mind the idea of a mystical force that can exert powerful control over someone's life. The lyrics also make reference to superstition and magic, such as the "needle in my chest" which suggests that the singer has been put under a spell or curse by their partner. Despite the darker themes of the song, there is also an element of desire and attraction in the lyrics, with the singer admitting that they find their partner magnetic and irresistible.
Overall, "Voodoo" is a song about the power of attraction and the dangers of being drawn in by someone who has the ability to control and manipulate us. The lyrics suggest that even when we know we are in a dangerous situation, it can be difficult to break free from the spell of another person.
