I wanna mix a potion up
Make a special drink for you
Mm-mm
Just a little sip
And you’re never gonna know what hit you, yeah, when I’m through
Oh, yeah
Now I’m not talking ’bout movies
Don’t need no happy end
I just wanna make you love me and stay through thick and thin
I’m just gonna use some magic
Might feel a little drunk
And if you try to leave me, I’ll lock you in my trunk
I’m gonna witch you
I’ll stick a pin right in you
My voodoo’s so addicting
3 silver spoons of branded wine
Just a frog and a little thyme, and baby, you’ll be mine
With my voodoo love, aw yeah
With my voodoo love, aw yeah
Boy, I really knew you were the one
The moment that I saw your eyes
Mm-hmm
Strong, and wise, and sweet, and quiet
Yeah, you’re just my type
Mm-hmm
Now I’m not talking ’bout movies
Don’t need no happy end
I just wanna make you love me and be my shiny prince
I’m just gonna use some magic
Might feel a little high
But we’ll be so enchanted and you’ll feel so alive
I’m gonna witch you
I’ll stick a pin right in you
My voodoo’s so addicting
3 silver spoons of branded wine
Just a frog and a little thyme, and baby, you’ll be mine
With my voodoo love, aw yeah
With my voodoo love, aw yeah
I always get just what I want, and boy, I really want you now
So just say “yes”
Can’t second guess the power of my voodoo love
My voodoo love
My voodoo love
I’m gonna witch you
I’ll stick a pin right in you
My voodoo’s so addicting
3 silver spoons of branded wine
Just a frog and a little thyme, and baby, you’ll be mine
With my voodoo love, aw yeah
With my voodoo love, aw yeah
Spellbound by Desire: Exploring “Voodoo Love”
In “Voodoo Love,” Ariana Grande crafts an enchanting narrative of obsession and infatuation, using playful supernatural imagery to express intense longing. The song’s protagonist likens her feelings to casting a spell, determined to make her love interest fall hopelessly for her. With lines about mixing potions, sticking pins, and using magic, the lyrics blend romance with a mischievous, witchy flair. Rather than seeking a fairy-tale ending, she’s driven by the thrill of powerful, irresistible attraction, suggesting love can be both intoxicating and all-consuming. Grande’s clever use of metaphors and whimsical ingredients draws listeners into a world where love is both a game and a spell.
