[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

[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

[bridge #2]

[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...
