Say you don't know me, you'll burn
You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't want me, you'll learn

Call me the Devil, it's true
Some can't accept but I crept inside you
So if a stranger calls you
Don't let him whisper his name
Cause it's Voodoo, oh

Never look back, never turn
It's a question of time 'till you're mine and you learn
So if a stranger sees you
Don't look in his eyes
Cause he's Voodoo
Say you don't know me, you'll burn
You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't want me, you'll learn
Nothing you do will be new, cause I'm through
Voodoo
Bring me your children, they'll burn
Never look back, never turn
Cry me a river, you'll learn Voodoo
Voodoo was written by Tony Iommi & Geezer Butler & Dio.
