Joe Maye’s song “I Put a Spell on You” is a classic love song with a mixture of both desperation and passion. The opening lines of the song “You know I love you...girl I don’t care if you don’t want me” captures the despondency of someone who is so in love with someone but cannot reciprocate. However, the singer later declares loyalty to his lover by insisting that “You know I'm yours right now” which shows how much he is willing to do for her. In the chorus of the song, the singer puts a spell on his lover indicating that he will do anything just to have her close and will not leave her for anyone. As he insists, “I put a spell on you because you’re mine” he reflects how his passion directs his actions and emotions.
The narrative of the song intensifies as the singer expresses his frustration with the woman who he loves but cannot have. His lyrics “You better stop the things you do…I can’t stand it no no cause you always bring me down” show his desperation and how his emotions are overpowering him. He further emphasizes in the chorus that he will do anything just to be with her. By explaining, “That’s what I do, I put a spell on you,” it is evident that the singer is declaring his commitment to her and that he is willing to go the extra mile for her.
