'Cause you're mine
You better stop the things you do
I ain't lyin'
No I ain't lyin'
You know I can't stand it
You know better daddy
I can't stand it cause you put me down
Yeah, Yeah
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You're mine

I love you
I love you
I love you anyhow
And I don't care
If you don't want me

You hear me

The singer warns their lover to stop the things they're doing that are causing them distress. They admit that they can't stand the fact that their partner is "runnin' around" and that they're hurt by the way they're being treated. However, the singer also declares their love for the person and that they're willing to stay with them even if they don't reciprocate that love.
The song's lyrics suggest that the singer's love for their partner is so strong that they're willing to resort to magic to keep them close. By putting a spell on their partner, the singer is hoping to gain control over the situation and keep their loved one from leaving them. The repetition of the line "you're mine" reinforces the singer's possessive nature and their desire to keep their partner all to themselves.
