In English we do not use quotes like ,, ... ''. It should be " ... " or ' ... '.
"style" = manner, behaviour, way of dressing, acting, etc. "got me under the spell" = captivated me
I'm not sure about "get down". It used to mean something like "have a great time partying", but maybe it means something else now. Pop song lyrics are often a string of random banalities or nonsense, so there's no guarantee it has any useful meaning. |

More context is needed. This looks like an extract from a rock/pop song, so grammar and meaning may not be standard. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

It's a part of a Jennifer Lopez song,
Here's a bigger part of the lyrics:
Hi, I’m Tune, the man on the moon I live on the beach, get the sand out ya shoes And all of that changed since I met you So we can leave that old shit in the restroom Young Money!
[J Lo] You got me and I could not defend it I tried but I had to surrender Your style got me under the spell Left me no other choice but to get down
It’s too late, it’s too late It’s too late, it’s too late You got it, you got it You got it, you got it

"Your style got me under the spell" = The way you are makes me very focused on you. This person is probably saying I am very attracted to you. _________________ Private lessons with Brian -Skype English Lesson |
