Lyrics

Voodoo Doll

You can't get out of your bed because you're so depressed
No-one understands this and they think that you're a mess
I know this is not the case and I believe in you
I won't stop until I have convinced you of the truth

I made a voodoo doll of you
And I gave it some chicken soup
Did you feel any warmth down deep inside
Did you feel how your blues went away and died
I made a voodoo doll of you
I even put it in a corduroy jumpsuit
'Cause I thought that's what you'd do
If you had the opportunity to choose

Even on your worst day I hate no-one less than you
Break in to my house and read my diary if you need some proof
You are going to make it and you'll do much more than that
Just don't stop, just keep on moving
There's no turning back

I made a voodoo doll of you
And I gave it some chicken soup
Did you feel any warmth down deep inside
Did you feel how your blues went away and died
I made a voodoo doll of you
I even put it in a corduroy jumpsuit
'Cause I thought that's what you'd do
If you had the opportunity to choose
I made a voodoo doll of you
And I administered hot chocolate too
One time I spilled it all over the place
I really hope you don't got no burns on your face
I made a voodoo doll of you
I didn't know what else to do
I know you don't get out that much
So I took it on a trip to Kalamazoo
I made a voodoo doll of you
And I gave it some chicken soup
Did you feel any warmth down deep inside
Did you feel how your blues went away and died
I made a voodoo doll of you
I even put it in a corduroy jumpsuit
'Cause I thought that's what you'd do
If you had the opportunity to choose
I made a voodoo doll of you
And I administered hot chocolate too
One time I spilled it all over the place
I really hope you don't got no burns on your face
I made a voodoo doll of you
I didn't know what else to do
I know you don't get out that much
So I took it on a trip to Kalamazoo
I made a voodoo doll of you
