Steve Miller’s Band third and Last No. 1 “New Wave” hit from 1982. It was a switch from their older folk turned rock style of the ‘60s and '70s, the lyrics and the tune did not sit well with all their fans.
According to Steve Miller, his inspiration was none other than diva Diana Ross.
[Verse 1]
I heat up
I can't cool down
You got me spinnin'
'Round and 'round
'Round and 'round
And 'round it goes
Where it stops
Nobody knows
[Verse 2]
Every time you call my name
I heat up
Like a burnin' flame
Burnin' flame
Full of desire
Kiss me, baby
Let the fire get higher
[Chorus]
Abra-abra-cadabra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra
[Verse 3]
You make me hot
You make me sigh
You make me laugh
You make me cry
Keep me burnin'
For your love
With the touch
Of a velvet glove
[Chorus]
Abra-abra-cadabra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra
[Verse 4]
I feel the magic in your caress
I feel magic when I touch your dress
Silk and satin
Leather and lace
Black panties with an angel's face
[Verse 5]
I can see magic
In your eyes
I hear the magic
In your sighs
Just when I think I'm gonna get away
I hear those words that you always say
[Chorus]
Abra-abra-cadabra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra
[Verse 2]
Every time
You call my name
I heat up like a burnin' flame
Burnin' flame
Full of desire
Kiss me baby
Let the fire get higher
Yeah, yeah
[Instrumental]
[Break]
I heat up
I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round
I heat up
I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round
I heat up
I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round
[Outro]
I heat up (I heat up)
I can't cool down (I can't cool down)
My situation goes 'round and 'round ('Round and 'round)
I heat up (I heat up)
I can't cool down (I can't cool down)
My situation goes 'round and 'round ('Round and 'round)
I heat up (I heat up)
I can't cool down (I can't cool down)
Abracadabra was written by Steve Miller.
Abracadabra was produced by Gary Mallaber & Steve Miller.

Miller told The Dallas Morning News:
Abracadabra' started off as a great piece of music with really atrocious lyrics. One day I was out skiing in Sun Valley and, lo and behold, who did I see on the mountain but Diana Ross. I skied down off the mountain to go have lunch. I had played with Diana Ross...
