Magic

When i met her she was waiting on a plane
At the airport restaurant i said what's your name
She said i grew up in chicago
I'm on my way up to toronto
Maybe you could come and stay a couple days
You can't explain the things she does
It's like we're already breaking up
First you see her but then you don't
And you ask yourself where'd hell she go
And she'll tell you that she's so in love
Makes you think that she's the one
Disappears right before your eyes
And you realize it's like magic
Just like magic
She told me she would call me in a week
But i'm still waiting on the phone to ring
Now she's acting like houdini
Yeah she had me make believing
She gets just what she wants and then she leaves
You can't explain the things she does
It's like we're already breaking up
First you see her but then you don't
And you ask yourself where'd hell she go
And she'll tell you that she's so in love
Makes you think that she's the one
Disappears right before your eyes
And you realize it's like magic
Just like magic
I thought she was the one one one
An inexplicable feeling but just as soon as she deal it
She was done done done
She sold me a broken promise and i just wanna be honest tonight
Cuz i wasn't lookin' for the lead on
I guess that she was lookin' for another heart to feed on
Uh, she told me she wanted me to cop a feel
And then she pulled a david copperfield
And she gone
When i met her she was waiting on a plane
At the airport restaurant i said what's your name
You can't explain the things she does
It's like we're already breaking up
First you see her but then you don't
And you ask yourself where'd hell she go
And she'll tell you that she's so in love
Makes you think that she's the one
Disappears right before your eyes
And you realize it's like magic
Just like magic
You can't explain the things she does
It's like we're already breaking up
First you see her but then you don't
And you ask yourself where'd hell she go
And she'll tell you that she's so in love
Makes you think that she's the one
Disappears right before your eyes
And you realize it's like magic
Just like magic
Just like magic
