[Verse 1]
I found out the hard way, some things you just can't get
When I fell in love with a woman I wish I never met
I was in the wrong place, at the wrong time
I fell easy prey to an innocent way, I was so blind

[Chorus]
I call out her name, I turn around to find her
She's a spellbinder

[Verse 2]
I've never been a easy man, so hard to please
But she made me feel life was unreal, oh Lord, how she satisfied me
I tried to break away, but I didn't stand a chance
She planned it so well, I was under her spell, I was in a trance

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Now do you know what love can do?
Oh no, what she puts me through?
It took so long for me to find her
Now she won't set me free
She's a spellbinder
Now do you know what love can do?
Oh no, what she put me through?
You say you can't believe, believe that it's true
Let the spellbinder put a spell on you

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
