Voodoo
Paul Gross Lyrics

Something in the way you talk
The way you speak is affecting me in a powerful way.

or maybe baby, just the way you walk
It could be the way you move that's causing this feeling.

has shaken all the leaves out of the trees
Your impact on me is all-encompassing like a force of nature.

Something in the way you smile
Your smile is having a profound effect on me.

teeth and lips and hair run wild, yeah
Your whole being seems to be radiating energy and passion.

surely this has brought me to my knees
I am in awe of you and the power you possess over me.

Oh Lord, I'm down -- I'm down upon my knees
I am humbled by the intensity of my emotions.

yes Lord, I'm down -- I'm down upon my knees
I am acknowledging a higher power that is at work here.

And I don't know which way to turn
I am lost and unsure of where this new path will take me.

Which way to go
I am seeking guidance and direction as I navigate these intense emotions.

Chorus:
The chorus expresses the singer's confusion and the different actions that could be responsible for his feelings.

What did you do to me?
The singer is questioning what kind of magic, spell, or influence the person he's lusting after is using on him.

(did you do) did you do a little seance
The singer wonders if the object of his affection performed a ritual to make him fall for her.

(did you do) a black cat romance
The singer wonders if he is under the influence of folklore and superstition.

(did you do) did you do a little sun dance
The singer wonders if the person he desires might have used a Native American ritual to get inside his head.

(did you do) did you do some voodoo baby
The singer is questioning if the target of his desire used voodoo to put him under a spell.

(x2)
The chorus repeats its unanswered questions without resolution.

Feels like a winds a blowin'
The singer describes the intensity of the force that he feels blowing at him.

looks like a hurricanes comin'
The situation seems to be escalating and becoming more intense and serious.

and it's coming from the centre of your eyes
The singer feels drawn in by the object of his passion, held captive by the person's gaze.

these eyes are deepest blue
The singer is entranced and captivated by the person's eyes.

these eyes that are so true
The singer feels a genuine connection and honesty in the other's eyes.

you got the eyes to make me cry
The person the singer desires has a powerful affect that reduces the singer to tears.

and all I know is I don't know what I know
The singer is hopelessly confused and unable to make sense of the situation.

Hush now darlin'
The singer is trying to calm himself down and rationalize his feelings.

I don't plan to cry
The singer is resolved to not let his emotions get the best of him.

I said hush now baby
The singer is trying to quiet his own emotions and not let them get out of control.

That ain't my style
The singer does not want to be seen as weak or vulnerable.

Look at you, God knows I do
The singer is obsessing over the person he desires and the power they have over him.

I put it down to a thing called voodoo
The singer rationalizes his feelings as being the result of some kind of mysterious force or magic.

I put it down to the curse of love
The singe is feeling the powerful effects of love and the spell of attraction.

I put it down to fate, hey
The singer accepts that there may be some larger force at work that caused him to fall in love with this person.

(chorus repeat to fade)
The chorus repeats and fades away, expressing the confusion and unanswered questions of the singer's feelings.
