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.
Come, if you got real love for me
Stay away, if got games and tricks for me
Bridge 1:
I wanna man that means everything he say
And not a boy full of play
Pulling rabbits out of his hat everyday
Oh, Baby I'm scared of you
Chorus:
I… I don't believe in magic (magic)
I believe in love everlasting
I can't understand that
Verse 2:
Houdini, Houdini, was great magician
He could crack a lock, from any position
Bridge 2:
But my heart, is nothing like those locks
And your falling last of my brand of stock
Like little red riding hood, you're the fox
Oh baby I'm scared of you
Chorus:
I… I don't believe in magic
I believe (I believe) in love ever lasting
Oh, Oh, Oh. . . (3 x)
Chorus:
I… I don't believe in magic
I believe (I believe) in love ever lasting
Bridge 3 :
Don't go pulling no rabbits out your hat
It'll be all I want from that
Baby now I can't go for that
I can't understand that baby (naw naw)
I can't understand that baby
Duet :
W: You ain't no Houdini
M: Ah, I know I ain't
W: I can't understand that baby
M: Oh, Like Rudolph Valentino,
I can fall down on my knees
Pull flowers out my sleeve
Because I know you will be pleased,I wonder
W: I can't understand that baby
I can't understand that
M: Look, I can pull flowers out my hat
Do a disappearing act
Come back on you so strong
Girl I really turn your loving on,I wonder
W: I can't understand that baby
I can't understand that
I need a man
M: I'm available
W: Mean everything he say
Don't need a boy full of games and tricks everyday
I can't understand that baby (naw naw)
I can't understand that
M: Baby, let me groove ya
W: Ah, Ah, Ah, I need a little more
M: Baby let me soothe ya
W: Oh, Oh, Oh I need a little more
