You Can Do Magic - Live Lyrics
America
Lyrics
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
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
doo, doo, doo ...
And when the rain is beatin' 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
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
doo, doo, doo ...
And if i wanted to
i could never be free
i never believed it was true
but now it's so clear to me
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
doo, doo, doo ...
You're the one who can put out the fire
you're the one who can put out the fire
you're the one who can put out the fire ...
