Spit Three Times
Feverish Secrets Unveiled: Neneh Cherry's Spellbinding Tale
Lyrics
I thought you were gone, out of my life
I believed you had left, no longer a part of my life
I'm not surprised, clever disguise
I'm not shocked; it was a clever deception
But you're like a demon, want to feed
Comparing you to a demon, craving to manipulate
Into satisfy real lies
Indulging in falsehoods to appease
Monkeys on my back
Burdens or troubles that persistently affect me
Holding me down
Weighing me down
Black dogs in the corner
Reference to difficulties or challenges represented by black dogs
Looking up at me
Imaginary or symbolic creatures observing or judging
I'm superstitious, spit three times over my shoulder
Expressing a superstitious action to ward off bad luck
I hit the ground hard
Falling heavily, possibly metaphorical for a difficult situation
It's you
The cause of the hardship is revealed to be you
I got the fever in me
Experiencing intense passion or emotion
Sneak in the dark, snuck to my bed
Quietly approaching in the darkness, arriving at my bed
Crawling my spine, time has gone by
A sensation along the spine, indicating the passage of time
Know how you hide, clever disguise
Your method of hiding, a clever disguise
Little time flies, it's how I get by
Time passes quickly, aiding in coping
But you're like an old friend or an enemy
You resemble either an old friend or a foe
Holding me down
Continuing to restrain or burden me
Black dogs in the corner
Black dogs persist in their symbolic presence
Looking up at me
Continuing to observe or judge
I'm superstitious, spit three times over my shoulder
Repeated superstitious action for protection
I hit the ground hard
Falling hard again, with you being the cause
It's you
The hardship is directly associated with you
I'm addicted to you
Expressing an addiction to you
You're the fever, baby
You are the source of the intense passion or emotion
I got the fever in me
Experiencing the intense passion or emotion
You're addicted to me
You are addicted to me
How is it gonna go?
Questioning the future course of events
Baby you know
Confirmation that the other person understands
You're the fever that's me
You are the fever within me
I'm superstitious, spit three times over my shoulder
Repeating the superstitious action for emphasis
I hit the ground hard
Falling hard again, with you as the cause
It's you
The hardship is directly associated with you
I got the fever in me
Experiencing the intense passion or emotion
It's you
The hardship is directly associated with you
Hit the ground hard
Falling hard again, with you as the cause
It's you
The hardship is directly associated with you
I'm addicted to you
Expressing addiction to the person causing hardship
You're the fever, baby
You are the source of the intense passion or emotion
I got the fever in me
Experiencing the intense passion or emotion
You're the fever that's me
The intense passion or emotion is an inherent part of me
How is it gonna go?
Questioning the future course of events
Leave me alone
Requesting to be left alone
You're addicted to me
The other person is addicted to the speaker
Leave me alone
Requesting to be left alone
Leave me alone
-I'm addicted to you
Expressing addiction to the person causing hardship
