You're like Voodoo baby you just take hold Put your cards on the table baby, do I twist, do I fold? You're like Voodoo honey, all silver and gold Why don't you tell me my future why don't I sell you my soul? So hear it comes the sound of drums (here come the drums here come the drums) Baby, baby, baby. You are my Voodoo Child, my voodoo child Don't say maybe maybe It's supernatural I'm coming undone It's supernatural I'm coming undone You've like Voodoo Baby, Your kisses are cold Fell your poison running threw me, let me never grow old You're like voodoo honey, my pictures you stole You play me like a puppet, stick in pins like a doll So hear it comes the sound of drums (here come the drums here come the drums) Baby baby baby. You are my Voodoo Child, my voodoo child Don't say maybe maybe It's supernatural I'm coming undone It's supernatural I'm coming undone Hear come the drums here come the drums Baby, baby, baby. You are my Voodoo Child, my voodoo child Don't say maybe maybe It's supernatural I'm coming undone Baby, baby, baby, I just take hold Do I twist do I fold?
