about

jAzz Lee, PO Box, and Favi came together in 2009 to play with folk music, oldies, and hip-hop. This Limited Edition is an unfinished take on Screamin' Jay Hawkins, "I Put a Spell on You." Check out this hip-hop iteration featuring Smanga of Impande Core.

lyrics

I put a spell on you
because you're mine
you betta’ stop the things you do
I ain't lyin'
nah no 2x

I don't wanna loose your touch
I still gotta feel for you
my mind thinks of you so much
I sense something real on you


fairytales are for boys and girls
with active imaginations
but true love stories seem to be the sight of devastation
relation-shit is how you looked at us
and thus your lust bust on the scene
my eyes turned green with envy
you give me
a heart contusion
it’s so confusing
feel like a fool when
even though you hurt me so
I let it go
Justify that it’s a part of our growth
Why I gotta be the hopeless romantic
The frantic-possessive-needy- eyes all cried out
And always threatening that I’m goin’ walk out
Ok so let’s try this thing called polyamory
Long as it’s rooted in honesty
Baby can’t you see
My heart I put it in your hands
What more do you demand
I understand
You put a hex on me enchanted me still can’t believe
My love for you is unconditional
No matter how irrational
Brewed up something of my own
And truth be told
it’s totally unbreakable
poof…

I put a spell on you
because you're mine
you betta’ stop the things you do
I ain't lyin'
nah nah 2x

I hear the way you yell on me
Lady got a spell on me
But I forgot that you the girl for me
I’m as guilty as a felony
Yes I did you wrong but
You don’t know how
I’m so strongly sorry now
This might not make sense
But don’t be following hatesteps
Our love is the way
Let’s not get lost
Let’s journey everyday
No matter what the cost

I put a spell on you
because you're mine
you betta’ stop the things you do
I ain't lyin'
nah no 2x
