That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Icy fingers up
and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
The same old tingle that I feel
inside
When that elevator starts its ride
Down and down I go, round and round 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 I'm aflame
Aflame with
such a burning desire
That only your kiss can put out the fire
You are the lover that I've waited for
The mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby down and down I go,
all around I go
In a spin, loving the spin that I'm in
I don't know how or where to start, here we're standing
again
And I see now from where we are, that our road has come
to an end
Though we've come this far, I don't know why
But I still can't see who you are
I don't want you to cry, don't want us to say goodbye
But I know that we're falling apart
I don't need your lies, and if you don't sympathize
Tell me how will I know who you are
It's too late now that we've gone this far, to see
what's in it within
Though we said that we'll never part, baby I've been
trying too hard
To believe in love, I don't know why
But I still can't see who you are
I don't want you to cry, don't want us to say goodbye
But I know that we're falling apart
I don't need your lies, and if you don't sympathize
Tell me how will I know who you are
Tell me how will I know who you are
Don't worry, I promise, it's for the better
So I think we should let it go now
And maybe we'll find love again
I don't want you to cry (I don't want you to cry)
But I know that (but I know that, know that we're
falling baby)
I don't need (don't need no more lies), no
(Tell me darling, how will I know who you are)
I don't want you to cry (I don't want you to cry)
Don't want us to say goodbye (but I know that, know
that we're falling baby)
But I know that we're falling apart
I don't need your lies (don't need no more lies), and
if you don't sympathize
(Tell me darling, how will I know who you are)
Tell me how will I know who you are
Tell me how will I know who you are
If you could look inside my heart
Then you would know
Your love has played the greatest part
If you could see inside my mind
Then you would know
I think about you all the time
No need to question
You will have my affection
For better or for worse
For richer or for poorer
I promise - I do
In sickness and in health
From now until forever
I'll always love you
And so with all of my heart
Till death do us part - I do
If you could walk inside my shoes
Then you would know
Know how much I'm into you
If you could feel what I feel
Then you would know
I'm falling hard for your appeal
No need to question
You will have my affection
For better or for worse
For richer or for poorer
I promise - I do
In sickness and in health
From now until forever
I'll always love you
And so with all of my heart
Till death do us part - I do
To have and to hold
Through young and through old
In good or in bad times baby
Yes I do, I do, I do
For better or for worse
For richer or for poorer
I promise - I do
In sickness and in health
From now until forever
I'll always love you
And so with all of my heart
That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Icy fingers up
and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
The same old tingle that I feel

Down and down I go, round and round I go
Like a leaf that's

I hear your name, and I'm aflame
Aflame with

That only your kiss can put out the fire
You are the lover that I've waited for
The mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby down and down I go,
all around I go
In a spin, loving the spin that I'm in
