I’ll make the stars fall out of the sky
Make the seas and the rivers run dry
There is nothing i can’t do
Lord i’ll put my spell on you

Praise the mountains down to the ground
Make the clouds and the rain fall down
There is nothing i can’t do
Lord i’ll put my spell on you

I’m your witchdoctor woman
And i’m gonna put my spell on you
I’m your witchdoctor woman
Lord i got my mind on you
