Lyrics

He looked at me one day, chased my blues away
Chased my blues away with his sweet smile
I never dreamed I'd need a man so bad
There was something in his style
Mr. Magic (Mr. Magic, Mr. Magic), where have you gone?
Mr. Magic, you turned me on
He put his hands on me and kissed me tenderly
Kissed me tenderly and held me tight
I'd give up anything that I possess
Just to have him here tonight
Mr. Magic (Mr. Magic, Mr. Magic), where have you gone?
Mr. Magic, ooh, you turned me on
I threw away my pride, I sat down and cried
Sat down and cried over you
'Cause just like magic powder, you took one
Now I don't know what to do
Mr. Magic (Mr. Magic, Mr. Magic), where have you gone?
Mr. Magic, ooh ooh, you turned me on
Mr. Magic (Magic, Magic, Magic)
Mr. Magic (Magic, Magic, Magic)
Mr. Magic (Magic, Magic, Magic)
Mr. Magic (Magic, Magic, Magic)
Mr. Magic, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
