Story Behind The Song

Was thinking about the Stones, pounding on an acoustic guitar, looking for a song, and it just came to me a line or two at a time.

Song Description

Voodoo, lust, and strong drink combine in a swampy, Stonesy rock and roll setting.

Lyrics

You make me nervous
You make me hot
It's not on purpose
It's just that voodoo that you've got
That makes me follow
You around
I've got the scent just like
My pappy's old bloodhound

So come on now, darlin'
I've got to have that voodoo you've got
You know I'll never get enough
So pour me just one more shot

I love your eyes, babe
I love your mouth
I love your shoulders
I love everything to the South
Give me your elbows
Give me your legs
I've gotta have all of you
'Cause I am your dog that begs

So come on now, darlin'
I've got to have that voodoo you've got
You know I'll never get enough
So pour me just one more shot

You run away, babe
Just to lead me on
Into the trap you've set
That you're waitin' for me to step on
And when I'm upside down
Both feet in the air
Waitin' for you to cut me down
I'll be a good dog, baby, I swear

So come on now, darlin'
I've got to have that voodoo you've got
You know I'll never get enough
So pour me just one more shot

You've got me helpless
I thought I was chasin' you
You turned the tables
It's just that voodoo that you do
The way you do me
Yeah voodoo do me
You blew me, threw me, screwed me, barely knew me
Voodoo do me

So come on now, darlin'
I've got to have that voodoo you've got
You know I'll never get enough
So pour me just one more shot
