[Verse 1: Dolly Parton]

Cold late night so long ago

When I was not so strong, you know

A pretty man came to me

I'd never seen eyes so blue

You know, I could not run away, it seemed

We'd seen each other in a dream

Seemed like he knew me

He looked right through me, yeah

[Chorus: Dolly Parton]

"Come on home, girl," he said with a smile

"You don't have to love me yet, just get high awhile

But try to understand, try to understand

Try, try, try to understand

I'm a magic man"

[Verse 2: Ann Wilson]

Winter nights, we sang in tune

Played inside thе months of moon

Never think of nevеr

Let this spell last forever

Summer lover passed to fall

Tried to realize it all

Mama says she's worried

You're growing up in a hurry, oh, yeah

[Chorus: Dolly Parton]

"Come on home, girl," Mama cried on the phone

"Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home"

But try to understand, try to understand

Try, try, try to understand

He's a magic man

[Post-Chorus: Dolly Parton, Ann Wilson]

Mama

Ooh, he got magic hands

[Chorus: Dolly Parton, Ann Wilson, Both]

"Come on home, girl," he said with a smile

"I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child"

But try to understand, try to understand

Try, oh

Try, yeah, try to understand

Try, try, try to understand

He's a magic man

[Post-Chorus: Ann Wilson, Dolly Parton]

Mm (Magic man)

(He's a magic man)

[Bridge: Dolly Parton, Ann Wilson]

A magic man with alluring eyes

Changed the course of my young life

He was a magic man

I was, oh, so quick to learn

I was caught up in the burn

Of a magic man

No one else could understand

Unless you've loved a magic man

Oh, oh

The way he swept me off my feet

Mama's love could not compete

The magic man is like a drug

And I'm addicted to his love

[Breakdown: Dolly Parton, Ann Wilson]

He is a magic man

He got magic hands

Ooh, oh, woah

Oh

[Chorus: Dolly Parton, Ann Wilson, Both]

"Come on home, girl," he said with a smile

"You don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile"

But try to understand, try to understand

Try, try, try to understand

He's a magic man, yeah, yeah

Oh
