Lyrics
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Stop the things you do
Watch out, I ain't lying
I can't stand
No running around
I can't stand
And no putting me down
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Stop the things you do
Watch out, I ain't lying
I love you, I love you
I love you anyhow
I don't care if you don't want me
I'm yours right now
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine, mine, mine
Oh you're mine
Because you're mine
Stop the things you do
Watch out, I ain't lying
I can't stand
No running around
I can't stand
And no putting me down
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Stop the things you do
Watch out, I ain't lying
I love you, I love you
I love you anyhow
I don't care if you don't want me
I'm yours right now
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine, mine, mine
Oh you're mine

Former boxer Jalacy J. Hawkins got loaded on muscatel before shrieking out the hoodoo of "I Put a Spell on You," and it took a healthy swig of J&B for him to re-create his studio performance onstage, where he climbed out of a coffin. The stage prop was DJ Alan Freed's brainstorm. When Hawkins resisted, Freed peeled off three hundred-dollar bills; "I said, 'Show me the coffin,' " the singer quipped.
