I Put A Spell On You

The speaker addresses someone who seems to be acting freely, neglecting or disrespecting the relationship. He says he has put a spell on this person because he considers them his. The mood is forceful and jealous, but it also becomes openly emotional: he repeats that he loves them, even while admitting they may not want him. The lyrics move between a demand for control and a declaration of attachment.

“Put a spell on you” is likely a dramatic metaphor, not a literal report of magic. It suggests wanting supernatural power to make the other person behave or stay. “Running around” can mean going out or seeing other people, while “putting me down” means treating the speaker as unimportant or criticizing him. These phrases make the relationship conflict clearer without explaining exactly what happened.

The repeated claim that the other person is “mine” can sound like playful theatrical exaggeration, but it can also feel possessive and threatening. The line about loving someone who does not want him complicates the speaker’s confidence: his declarations may hide insecurity or desperation. The lyrics do not tell us whether the spell is meant humorously, seriously, or as a fantasy of control, so listeners may hear both passion and unease in the same words.
