The lyrics to Raney Shockne Feat. Eddie Wakes's "I Put A Spell On You" tell a story of a possessive and obsessive love. The singer puts a spell on their object of affection because they believe that person belongs to them. The singer expresses their jealousy and inability to tolerate any behavior that they consider objectionable. They declare their undying love for this person, even though they are aware that their feelings may not be reciprocated.
The repetition of the lines "I love you" and "I'm yours, yours, yours" throughout the song emphasizes the intensity of the singer's emotions. The line "If I can't have you, no one will" showcases the singer's desperation and potential for dangerous behavior.
