Johnny Mercer
That Old Black Magic
[Verse 1]
That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
[Verse 2]
The same old tingle that I feel inside
And when that elevator starts its ride
Darling down and down I go, round and round I go
Like a leaf that's caught in the tide
[Chorus]
I should stay away, but what can I do?
I hear your name and I'm aflame
Aflame with such a burning desire
That only your kiss can put out the fire
For you're the lover I have waited for
The mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Darling, down and down I go
Round and round I go
In a spin, I'm loving the spin I'm in
Under that old black magic called love
[Chorus]
I should stay away, but what can I do?
I hear your name and I'm aflame
Aflame with such a burning desire
That only your kiss can put out the fire
For you're the lover, you're the lover I have waited for
The mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Darling, down and down I go
Round and round I go
In a spin, loving the spin I'm in
I'm under that old black magic called love
[Outro]
Under that old black magic called love
Under that old black magic called love
Got me spinning, spinning, spinning around
Like an elevator going down
When that old black magic comes around
