[Intro]
Oooh (Magic, magic, magic)
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh (Magic, magic, magic, magic)
I love the girl with magic ways
[Verse 1]
The way you whisper in my ear
To make my troubles disappear
It's magic
The way your little fingertips
Make my heart do double flips
It's magic
[Verse 2]
And when you smile at me that way
Well, you can warm the coldest day
It's magic
(It's magic, magic)
And even when you're gone I find
I hear you laughing in my mind
It's magic
(It's magic, magic)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And all I have to do is think of you
To make the music start to play
Then I dance down the street
And the people I meet stop and say "Hey, hey"
[Chorus]
Magic ways, my friend (Ooh-ooh)
You love the girl with magic ways, and it's true
I might as well give in (Ooh-ooh)
You cast a spell on all my nights and days
With your sweet magic ways
[Verse 3]
When I go to sleep it seems
You sprinkle stardust in my dreams
It's magic
(It's magic, magic)
And in the morning when I rise
The mockingbirds all harmonize
It's magic
(It's magic, magic)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And when you want me you just clap your hands
And I'll be with you right away
Then we'll float on a breeze
While the leaves in the trees softly say "Hey, hey"
[Chorus]
Magic ways, my friend (Ooh-ooh)
You love the girl with magic ways, and it's true
I might as well give in (Ooh-ooh)
You cast a spell on all my nights and days
With your sweet magic ways
[Bridge]
(Magic, magic, magic, magic
Uh-ah, ooh-oh
Magic, magic, magic, magic
Uh-ah, ooh-oh)
[Chorus]
Magic ways, my friend (Ooh-ooh)
You love the girl with magic ways, and it's true
I might as well give in (Ooh-ooh)
I love the girl with magic ways (I love the girl with magic)
Hey, Hey (I love the girl with magic ways)
[Outro]
Magic ways, my friend (Ooh-ooh)
You love the girl with magic ways, and it's true (Magic, magic)
I might as well give in
You cast a spell on all my nights and days
With your sweet magic-
Ways My friend (Ooh-ooh)
You love the girl with magic ways, and it's true (Magic, magic)
I might as well give in (Ooh-ooh)
I love the girl with magic ways (I love the girl with magic)
Ahhh (I love the girl with magic ways)
Magic ways my friend (Ooh-ooh)
You love the girl with magic ways, and it's true (Magic, magic)
I might as well give in
You cast a spell on all my nights and days
