I mean sometimes when you just can't even sleep, you can't think
You just lose yourself, wrapped all up in it
Hmm, shit baby, you got me mesmerized
Let me sing it for you

Let me tell ya
How ya make me feel
I need yo lovin'
It's so good to me

Boy, you got me weak (Yeah!)
My heart is on fire since you put that thang on me, ooh
You put that thang on me, that thang, baby

Ooh baby, baby, baby, baby mesmerized
(I said 1, 2, 3, 4 hit it, uh!)
Ooh baby, baby, baby, baby mesmerized

You got me mesmerized
I don't know what to do
Baby got me hypnotized
I think I'm in love with you
You got me so caught up
Baby, I'm spellbound
I'm floatin' on cloud nine
And I don't think I'm comin' down
Don't you know

Baby, baby, it's like ecstasy
I can't even sleep
Boy, you got me weak
My heart is on fire since you put that thang on me, ooh!

Boy you got me weak
Your love is so sweet
Said you knock me off my feet

I can't even sleep
Boy you got me weak
Your love is so sweet
Said you knock me off my feet

Ooh baby, baby, baby, baby mesmerized

Don't know just what to do, I'm hypnotized

Oh you got me, oh you got me, yeah, yeah, yeah
C'mon! Ain't it funky now!
