Policy woman got a hold on my baby
Since she come around, he ain't been the same
She look at him with her dark brown eyes
She tell him things that would make a grown man cry

Policy woman took the love from my lover
He's been in a haze since the day that he saw her
She shook her hips and her long black hair
Now all my baby does is stare at the gypsy woman

You like the way she makes you feel
She got you spinning on her medicine wheel
She's crossing me with magnetic sand
She hypnotize with her mojo hand

She got the medicine that everybody wants
She got the medicine that everybody wants
She got the medicine that everybody wants
She got the medicine that everybody wants

Policy woman came a rolling into town
She got all the gentlemen to follow her down
She found the diamonds hidden in the drain
She disappeared on the ghost train
You like the way that she makes you feel<
She got you spinning on her policy wheel
Deep in the night, when no one's around
I've got a plan to take that woman down

She got the medicine that everybody wants
She got the medicine that everybody wants
She got the medicine that everybody wants
She got the medicine that everybody wants

I stole her bag of rattling bones
Her fast-luck oil and her magic stones
I swept up her magnetic sand
I took her love potion and her mojo hand, now

I got the medicine that everybody wants
I got the medicine that everybody wants
I got the medicine that everybody wants
I got the medicine that everybody wants
