Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Summer, it turns me upside down

Summer, summer, summer, it's like a merry-go-round

I see you under the midnight, all shackles and bows

High shoes with the cleats a-clickin', a temperamental glow

How could you let me go?

[PreChorus]

Ooh, got a hold on you, got a hold on you

I've got a hold on you tonight

Uh, got a hold on you, got a hold on you

Got a hold on you

Ah, check it

[Chorus]

Uh-oh, it's magic

When I'm with you

I know it's magic

Uh-oh, it's magic

Just a little magic

I know it's magic

You know it's true

I got a hold on you

[Verse 2]

Oh twisted under sideways down

I know you're getting twisted and you can't calm down

I see you under the midnight, love darts in your eyes

How far can you take it till you realize

There's magic in your eyes?

[PreChorus]

I got a hold on you, got a hold on you

Got a hold on you tonight

I got a hold on you

Got a hold on you

Got a hold on you

Yeah, oh yeah, uh

[Chorus]

Uh-oh, it's magic

Uh-oh, when I'm with you

I know it's magic

Uh-oh, it's magic

Just a little bit of magic

I know it's magic

Pulls me through

I got a hold on you

[PreChorus]

I've got a hold on you

I got a hold on you

Got a hold on you

That's right, it's magic

[Chorus]

Uh-oh, it's magic

I know it's magic when I'm with you

I know it's magic

Uh-oh

Uh-oh, it's magic

Just a little magic

I know it's magic

Inside of you

Oh

I know it's magic

[Chorus]

Uh-oh, it's magic

Takes a little bit of magic

I know it's magic

That's true

When I'm with you

I know it's magic

[Outro]

Uh-oh, it's magic

Gotta be magic

Your magic pulls me through

Uh-oh, it's magic

Uh-oh, it's magic
