That Old Black Magic
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
I got those ice, icy fingers up and down my spine
That same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
The same old tingle that I feel inside
And then that elevator starts its ride
And down and down I go, round I go, I go
Like a leaf that's caught in the tide
I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and then I'm aflame
Aflame with such a burning desire
That only your kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss
Kiss put out the fire
You are the lover I have waited for
You are the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Darling, down and down I go, round and round I go
Like a leaf that is caught in the tide
Well, I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name, then I'm aflame
Aflame with such a burning desire
That only your kiss put out the fire
You're the lover, lover, lover I have waited for
Girl, you're the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Darling, down and down I go, round and round I go
Like a leaf, I'm talking 'bout the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called, you're a dirty rubber
Old black magic called, oh, oh, get out the car
Old black magic called, meanwhile back in the ranch
And the old, the old black magic called love
