[Verse 1]
Rolled into town at dusk
Suitcase in my hand
Came for the cheap wine
And the brass-band stand
Then I saw you standing there
In a red silk glow
Smile like a match flame
Said, “Baby, don’t you go”
[Pre-Chorus]
You moved like a secret
Across the floor
Your eyes said “come closer”
Your heel said “more”
[Chorus]
Voodoo baby, hold me tight
Voodoo baby, through the night
Voodoo baby, bend my will
(oooh) Make my heartbeat stand still
Voodoo baby, sweet and sly
Voodoo baby, teach me why
Voodoo baby, lock that door
(I’m yours) Now I’m begging for more
[Verse 2]
You traced my palm with charcoal
And a pinch of salt
Said every lonely man here
Falls into your vault
Your laugh hit like cymbals
Your dress spun slow
And the room got smaller
With every low hello
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to laugh it off
Tried to play it cool
But your finger on my collar
Made me act a fool
[Chorus]
Voodoo baby, hold me tight
Voodoo baby, through the night
Voodoo baby, bend my will
(oooh) Make my heartbeat stand still
Voodoo baby, sweet and sly
Voodoo baby, teach me why
Voodoo baby, lock that door
(I’m yours) Now I’m begging for more
[Bridge]
Moon on the river
Black on the lane
You kissed my name away
Like a whispered stain
I heard that trumpet crying
From a block away
But your hands kept pulling
Till I lost my way
[Chorus]
Voodoo baby, hold me tight
Voodoo baby, through the night
Voodoo baby, bend my will
(oooh) Make my heartbeat stand still
Voodoo baby, sweet and sly
Voodoo baby, teach me why
Voodoo baby, lock that door
(I’m yours) Now I’m begging for more
[Outro]
Oh, voodoo baby
You got me under your spell
Oh, voodoo baby
And I wear it so well
