'hypnotied' Song Lyrics

[katizim]

Hi all,

I was hoping you'd be able to help me please.

Whilst I was on holiday in Florida last month, I was in a diner where I heard a song with lyrics along the lines of 'hypnotised by your love.' It was an R&B/soul/funk song with a male singer. At the time I was thinking it was Rick James but I can't find anything online by him with those lyrics. I tried to Shazam it but there was too much of a hubbub in the diner so it didn't pick it up. I've also tried searching online with the spelling variant of 'hypnotized'.

The song has played on my mind for the last month so please, if anyone knows the song, let me know!

Many thanks,
KT

Get High on Your Love, by Dennis Brown, contains the line "Just one look in your eyes and I'm hypnotized by your love".

Thank you so much for your answer Buenchino, but unfortunately that isn't the track I heard. It had a more no soulful sound to it and there was more emphasis on the 'hypnotised' part - it could have been the chorus or bridge rather than in the verse. I do like that song though, so thank you anyway!

Possibly?

The lyrics match (lots of 'hypnotised by your love/hypnotised by your eyes') but I'm not sure mine could be described as 'soul'

[katizim]

No definitely not that, thank you though factor-fiction.

Rihanna? I know you said male , but...

This is from 2008 so may be too old

Nope, definitely not Rihanna - it was definitely a male and I'd say it was from the mid-late 70s/early 80s. Thanks though.

What was the tempo?

Was it Wang Chung?

I'm not sure that Jeremy Ryder from Wang Chung sounds anything like Rick James. Nice song though :)

[FrogNog]

No Dizmo but it's funky so I thought I'd give it a go. :)

[FrogNog]

Was it Bloodstone? After that I give up lol.

Dizmo, definitely not that one!

The tempo was fairly funk-ish (if that's a tempo?!), and with his voice, I really thought it was Rick James as it sat within his genre of music. I also thought it could have been Leon Ware but can't find anything.

FrogNog, it isn't that one I'm afraid - thank you though. I do love Bloodstone but I'd say the song I heard was later than their time.

Lots of mixes of that ^^^^^^^

[katizim]

Tonyav, it wasn't that one unfortunately - thank you though!

I hadn't realised from your original post that we are looking at something from 30-40 years ago- I wrongly assumed it was fairly recent track as I didn't really pick up on the Rick James reference. I'll have another think
