Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I never believed in things that I couldn't see
I said, if I can't feel it, then how can it be?
No, no magic could happen to me
And then I saw you, I couldn't believe it
You took my heart, I couldn't retrieve it
Said to myself, "What's it all about?"
Now I know there can be no doubt
[Chorus]
You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic
And you know you're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well, when you cast your spell
You will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
[Chorus]
De-de-de-de-do, dit, do-do-do-do-do, dit
De-de-de-do, dit, do-do-do-do-do
De-de-de-de-do, dit, do-do-do-do-do, dit
De-de-de-do, dit, do-do-do-do-do
[Verse 2]
And when the rain is beating upon the window pane
And when the night, it gets so cold
When I can't sleep, again you come to me
I hold you tight, the rain disappears
Who would believe it?
With a word you dry my tears
[Chorus]
You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic
And you know you're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well when you cast your spell
You will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
The heart of stone can turn to clay
[Chorus]
De-de-de-de-do, dit, do-do-do-do-do, dit
De-de-de-do, dit, do-do-do-do-do
[Bridge]
And if I wanted to
I could never be free
I never believed it was true
But now it's so clear to me
[Chorus]
You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic
And you know you're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well when you cast your spell
You will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
[Outro]
De-de-de-de-do, dit, do-do-do-do-do, dit
De-de-de-do, dit, do-do-do-do-do
De-de-de-de-do, dit, do-do-do-do-do, dit
You're the one who can put out the fire
De-de-de-de-do, dit, do-do-do-do-do, dit
You're the one who can put out the fire
De-de-de-de-do, dit, do-do-do-do-do, dit
You're the one who can put out the fire
