Cold late night, so long ago When I was not so strong, you know A pretty man came to me I never seen eyes so blue
You know I could not run away, it seemed We'd seen each other in a dream Seemed like he knew me He looked right through me, yeah
"Come on home, girl, " he said with a smile "You don't have to love me yet, just get high awhile But try to understand Try to understand Try, try, try to understand I'm a magic man"
Winter nights, we sang in tune Played inside the months of moon Never think of never Let this spell last forever
Summer lover passed to fall Tried to realize it all Mama says she's worried You're growing up in a hurry, oh yeah
"Come on home, girl, " Mama cried on the phone "Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home" But try to understand Try to understand Try, try, try to understand He's a magic man Mama Ooh, he got magic hands
"Come on home, girl, " he said with a smile "I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child" But try to understand Try to understand Try, oh Try, yeah, try to understand Try, try, try to understand He's a magic man Magic man He's a magic man
A magic man with luring eyes changed the course of my young life He was a magic man I was oh, so quick to learn, I was caught up in the burn Of the magic man No one else could understand unless you've loved a magic man Oh, the way he swept me off my feet Mama's love could not compete A magic man is like a drug and I'm addicted to his love
He is a magic man He got magic hands
Oh, "Come on home, girl", he said with a smile "You don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile" But try to understand Try to understand Try, try, try to understand He's a magic man, yeah, yeah Oh
