Voodoo Doll Lyrics

[Verse 1: Luke]
I don't even like you
Why'd you want to go and make me feel this way? (What?)
I don't understand what's happened
I keep saying things I never say

[Pre-Chorus: Michael]
I can feel you watchin'
Even when you're nowhere to be seen
I can feel you touchin'
Even when you're far away from me

[Chorus: Calum, Michael, All]
Tell me where you're hidin' your voodoo doll
'Cause I can't control myself (Oh)
I don't wanna stay, I wanna run away
But I'm trapped under your spell (Trapped under your spell)
And it hurts in my head and my heart and my chest
And I'm having trouble catching my breath

Ooh, ooh
Won't you please stop lovin' me to death?

[Verse 2: Luke, Ashton]
I don't even see my friends no more
'Cause I keep hangin' out with you (Woo!)
I don't know how you kept me up all night
Or how I got this tattoo
[Pre-Chorus: Michael]
I can feel you watchin'
Even when you're nowhere to be seen
And I can feel you touchin'
Even when you're far away from me

[Chorus: Calum, Ashton, All]
Tell me where you're hidin' your voodoo doll
'Cause I can't control myself (Oh)
I don't wanna stay, I wanna run away
But I'm trapped under your spell (Trapped under your spell)
And it hurts in my head and my heart and my chest
And I'm having trouble catching my breath

Ooh, ooh
Won't you please stop loving me to death?

[Bridge: Luke & Calum]
Every time you're near me
Suddenly my heart begins to race
Every time I leave
I don't know why my heart begins to break

[Chorus: Calum, Ashton, All]
Tell me where you're hidin' your voodoo doll
'Cause I can't control myself (Oh)
I don't wanna stay, I wanna run away
But I'm trapped under your spell (Trapped under your spell)
And it hurts in my head and my heart and my chest
And I'm having trouble catching my breath

Ooh, ooh
Won't you please stop lovin' me to death?
[Outro: All]
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!

Genius Annotation

“Voodoo Doll” is the fifteenth track on the deluxe version of 5 Seconds of Summer’s debut self-titled album. This is a song about a guy who isn’t that into a girl, but strangely finds himself becoming attached to her and acting in ways out of his usual nature. This is very fitting with the title — “Voodoo Doll” — which is, in fantasy, a doll version you make of someone that you can use to control them. In this case, she has some kind of power over him and she’s somehow influencing his thoughts, feelings, and actions.
