Strange Voodoo
Boy George · Other Songs - Boy George
I'm useless now as I have always been
Just like some worthless love song dying on the radio
We talk in circles 'til we don't know what we mean
Ain't no happy ever after, ain't no big dark man
Ain't no perfect situation, can't you understand
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you is some strange voodoo
How can I love you boy when you don't even love yourself?
I'm useless now as I have always been
Your lying eyes, your thieving hands, you're such a rogue at times
But you will always be a part of me
Ain't no happy ever after, no big dark man, no no
Ain't no perfect situation, ain't no master plan
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Strange, strange voodoo
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Heh-he
Ain't no happy ever after, no big dark man, no no
Ain't no perfect situation, can't you understand
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you strange voodoo
Loving you strange voodoo
Loving you strange voodoo
Strange voodoo
Strange voodoo
