Origineel
[Verse 1: background vocalists]
How could you leave me?
Why did you have to say goodbye?
You should know better
Now all I do is sit and cry
How could you do it
After the changes we've been through?
Look at me jonesin'
I'm still so much hung up on you
[Chorus: Rick James & background vocalists]
And everytime I see you
Undress me with your eyes
And everytime I touch you
I'm so hypnotized
Don't you understand I'm
Hypnotized by you
Hey baby, you got me hypnotized, yeah
And you put a spell on me
I'll never be free, no I'll never be free
[bridge #1]
[Verse 2: Rick James & background vocalists]
What is this magic
What is this feeling you posess? (you posess)
Tell me your potion
A mixture of all your tenderness (tenderness, tenderness)
Was it your kisses
Or was it the way you held me tight? (so tight)
This strange obsession
Has you in my fantasy each night (oh baby)
[Chorus: Rick James & background vocalists]
And everytime I see you
Undress me with your eyes
And everytime I touch you
I'm so hypnotized
Don't you understand I'm
Hypnotized by you
Hey baby, you got me hypnotized, yeah
And everytime I see you
Undress me with your eyes
And everytime I touch you
I'm so hypnotized
Don't you understand I'm
Hypnotized by you
Hey baby, you're always on my mind
I think about you all the time, girl
Think about you all the time
I'll never be free, no I'll never be free

[Outro: Rick James & background vocalists]
(Hypnotized by you) I'm hypnotized
(Hypnotized by you) I'm hypnotized, baby
(Hypnotized by you) I'm hypnotized
Hypnotized, (hypnotized)
I'm hypnotized, baby (hypnotized)
Hypnotized...

Vertaling
[Verse 1: achtergrond zangers]
Hoe kon je me verlaten?
Waarom moest je afscheid nemen?
Je zou beter moeten weten
Nu is alles wat ik doe zitten en huilen
Hoe kon je dat doen
Na de veranderingen die we hebben doorgemaakt?
Look at me jonesin'
I'm still so much hung up on you
[Chorus: Rick James & background vocalists]
En elke keer als ik je zie
Undress me with your eyes
En elke keer als ik je aanraak
I'm so hypnotized
Don't you understand I'm
Gehypnotiseerd ben door jou
Hey baby, je hebt me gehypnotiseerd, yeah
And you put a spell on me
Ik zal nooit vrij zijn, nee ik zal nooit vrij zijn

[Verse 2: Rick James & background vocalists]
Wat is deze magie
Wat is dit gevoel dat jij bezit? (jij bezit)
Tell me your potion
A mixture of all your tenderness (tederheid, tederheid)
Was het je kussen
Or was it the way you held me tight? (so tight)
Deze vreemde obsessie
Has you in my fantasy each night (oh baby)
[Chorus: Rick James & background vocalists]
And everytime I see you
Undress me with your eyes
And everytime I touch you
I'm so hypnotized
Don't you understand I'm
Gehypnotiseerd ben door jou
Hey baby, je hebt me gehypnotiseerd, yeah
And everytime I see you
Undress me with your eyes
And everytime I touch you
I'm so hypnotized
Don't you understand I'm
Gehypnotiseerd ben door jou
Hey baby, je bent altijd in mijn gedachten
Ik denk de hele tijd aan je, meisje
Ik denk de hele tijd aan je
I'll never be free, no I'll never be free
[bridge #2]
[Outro: Rick James & background vocalists]
(Gehypnotiseerd door jou) Ik ben gehypnotiseerd
(Gehypnotiseerd door jou) Ik ben gehypnotiseerd, baby
(Hypnotized by you) I'm hypnotized
Gehypnotiseerd, (gehypnotiseerd)
Ik ben gehypnotiseerd, baby (gehypnotiseerd)
Gehypnotiseerd...
