Lyrics

That (F)old black mag ic has me in its spell,

that old black mag ic that you (Gm7)weave so well.

Those i cy fin gers up and down my spine, the same old (C)witch craft when your (F6)eyes meet (C)mine.

The (F)same old tin gle that I feel in side, and then that el e va tor (Eb)starts its ride,

and (Bb)down and down I (Bbm6)go, (Fmaj9)’round and ’round I go (Gm7)like a leaf that’s (F#maj7)caught in the (F)tide.

I should (Dm)stay a way but what can I (Bb)do?

I hear your (A9)name

and I’m a (D9)flame,

a (Gm)flame with such a burn ing de (Eb9)sire

that on ly your (Bbm6)kiss

can put out the (C)fire.

For (F)you’re the lov er I have wait ed for,

the (Cm7)mate that fate had me cre at ed (F9)for,

and (Bb)ev ’ry time your lips meet (Bbm6)mine,

dar ling, (Bb6)down and down I (Bbm6)go, (Fmaj9)’round and ’round I go (Gm7)in a spin, lov ing the (G)spin I’m in, un der that (C7)old black mag ic called (F)love!
