Lyrics



Got a black magic woman

Got a black magic woman

I've got a black magic woman

Got me so blind I can't see

That she's a black magic woman

She's trying to make a devil out of me


Don't turn your back on me, baby

Don't turn your back on me, baby

Yes, don't turn your back on me, baby

Stop messing about with your tricks

Don't turn your back on me, baby

You just might pick up my magic sticks


You got your spell on me, baby

You got your spell on me, baby

Yes, you got your spell on me, baby

Turnin' my heart into stone

I need you so bad

Magic woman I can't leave you alone



Songwriters: Peter Alan Green
