I put a spell on you (I put a spell on you)
Expression of putting a magical influence on someone
I put a spell on you (I put a spell on you)
Reiteration of casting a spell on someone
I put a spell on you (I put a spell on you)
Repetition of putting a spell on someone, emphasizing the act
I put a spell on you (I put a spell on you)
Continued emphasis on casting a spell on someone
Mama, you gotta get yourself together
Addressing "Mama" and advising to gather oneself and make decisions
Find out what you're gonna do
Encouraging Mama to figure out her course of action
(I put a spell on you)
Repetition of putting a spell on someone, possibly for emphasis or intensity
(I put a spell on you)
Further emphasis on the spell, suggesting a strong influence
(I put a spell on you)
Continued emphasis on the magical spell, reinforcing its impact
(I put a spell on you)
Reiteration of the spell, with potential emotional intensity
(Ooh)
Expression of emotion or reaction, possibly a vocalization
I put a spell on you (I put a spell on you)
Repetition of the spell, maintaining the focus on the magical influence
I put a spell on you (I put a spell on you)
Continued emphasis on the spell, reinforcing its power
(I put a spell on you)
Repetition of putting a spell on someone, possibly with increased intensity
(I put a spell on you)
Further emphasis on the magical spell, strengthening its impact
(I put a spell on you)

Reiteration of the spell, potentially with heightened emotion
(Ooh)
Expression of emotion or reaction, possibly a vocalization, closing the lyrics
