Before I even met you, I knew you were the one
I felt your love like an electric shock before it begun
I saw you in my tea leaves, and in my crystal ball
But I never believed that I would give my heart away at all
I watched the patterns of the birds, I listened to the rain
The voices in the river all told me the same:
They said "you better shine your shoes, get ready to sing the lovesick blues, cause there's no hiding when it comes for you"
But I'm a witch, I'm a witch, daddy I'm a witch
I'm a witch, I'm a witch, daddy I'm a witch
I'm a witch, I'm a witch, daddy I'm a witch
I'm a self-made, no-man's-slave, misbehaving witch
I read it in your face and I read it in your palm
Every little sign said "go on, get it on"
I put you in a magic spell, you put me in a swoon
For thirteen days we holed up in my room
For thirteen nights we holed up in my room
Hey diddy ho diddy look who's in love diddy
Hi diddy hee diddy look who's in deep
Me baby, sweet baby, I got it bad, baby
Just one look from his big brown eyes
And I gave my heart away
Cause I'm a witch, I'm a witch, daddy I'm a witch
I'm a witch, I'm a witch, daddy I'm a witch
I'm a witch, I'm a witch, daddy I'm a witch
I'm a nature lovin', tree huggin', heartstring-tuggin' witch
Bubble bubble toil and trouble
Things are getting a little weird, you want out on the double
You don't like spirits hanging in the air
You don't like the bats that I wear in my hair
But if you think that I won't see you no more
I'll send a thousand black cats crying at your door
I'll change my clothes, I'll change the weather
I know that we were meant to be together
And what I know, I knooooooow
Cause I'm a witch, I'm a witch, daddy I'm a witch
I'm a witch, I'm a witch, daddy I'm a witch
I'm a witch, I'm a witch, daddy I'm a witch
I'm a toad lickin', pin-stickin', ass-kickin' witch
