Lyrics

That old black magic has weaved its spell
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
Same old tingle that I feel inside
And then that elevator starts its ride
Down and down I go
Round and around I go
Like a leaf caught in a tide
I should stay away but what can I do?
I hear your name and I'm aflame
Flame, burning desire
That only your kiss
Put out the fire
For you're the lover I have waited for
You're the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby down and down I go
Round and round I go
In a spin, loving the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
Oh in a spin, loving the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin, loving the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
I should stay away but what can I do?
I hear your name and I'm a flame
Flame, burning desire
That only your kiss
Put out the fire
For you're the lover I have waited for
You're the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby down and down I go
Round and round I go
In a spin, loving the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
Oh in a spin, loving the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin, loving the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
Under the old black magic called love
