You Do Something To Me
Easy Virtue Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be
You have the power to hypnotize me?

Let me live 'neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
Cause you do something to me

That nobody else could do

You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be
You got the power to hypnotize me?

Let me live 'neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
Cause you do something to me

That nobody else can do
That no one else in the world can do
