A Man In A Trenchcoat (Voodoo) Songtext
von LaBelle

A man in a trench coat
Once gave me a note
Saying, "Come by my house, if you please." You see, that ain′t all
He was big and small and had eyes that could warm and freeze
And I almost did
I was afraid that he was crazy or from some other place
But then he looked at me coolly
Sure did fool me
When he vanished without a trace
Workin' on my mind
All the time
He left me there lying on the ground
I consider the conditions
Dismiss my suspicions
Try as not to knock softly on his door
Oh, you see what
When he opened wide
I did not believe my eyes
He was a teeny, tiny spot on the floor
It was dark as midnight


Then I saw this light
Leading me on like a hand
Then something beside me
Said that it was here to guide me
Into another life
Workin′ on my mind
On my mind
Workin' on my mind
On my mind
He left me there lying on the ground
Passed out with eyes closed
I guess
When I saw things bright and clear
I was walking on raindrops
Just laughing and crying nonstop
But the fumes that fill the air
I awakened to water
Someone said my disorder
Would take a lifetime to cure
Oh, you see, see, mad guy who had ya
No, but that just didn't matter
′Cause I had been there before
Just workin′, workin', workin′, workin'
Workin′, workin', workin′, workin', workin', workin′
Drivin′ me mad
Sometimes in the morning
I get crazy in the morning
I wanna take my clothes off
And get a little lewd
I don't know what to say
That makes me crazy that way
It′s just a taboo
A voodoo
A-workin' on my mind
A-workin′, just a-workin', just a-workin′ on my mind
Sometimes in these places
Just little bitty tiny spaces
All I can do
Is get a little bit insecure
That mean taboo
A-voodoo
It gets a little down and sticky
All I can do
Is get me back to where I've been
With the taboo
A-voodoo
A-yoo-hoo
A-just a-workin'
A -just a-workin′
A -just a-workin′
A -just a-workin'
A -just a-workin′ on my mind
Workin' on my mind
Workin′ that taboo
A-yoo-hoo
A-taboo
A-yoo-hoo
A-taboo
A-yoo-hoo
A-taboo
A-yoo-hoo
Drivin' me insane!
Drivin′ me insane!
