[Verse 1]

I walked away from the life that I was leading

'Cause you said that you were needing me

And I hesitate ’cause my mother said, "Be careful"

And my friends they said, "Beware"

But no, no, no, no

[Pre-Chorus]

So I kept myself tight

'Cause it wouldn't be nice

It would be unkind for me to unwind

And so I sip from my wine

I swallow my pride and say, "Not fair"

Be aware my soul is drifting far away

[Chorus]

You want this magic woman

To lay your bed at night

And to treat you right

But don’t ask what's done

I'm a magic woman

But I'm not the one you seek

See, I value value me too

I'm a magic woman

[Post-Chorus]

I'm a magic woman, I'm a magic woman, I'm a magic woman

I’m a magic woman, I’m a magic woman, I'm a magic woman

[Verse 2]

And if I leave and you look me in the eyes

I’m a devil in disguise to you (Oh-oh-oh, no)

But if I stay and you say that you can't take it

And God forbid I lose my patience (Oh-oh-oh, no)

[Pre-Chorus]

So I kept myself tight

'Cause it wouldn't be nice

It would be unkind for me to unwind

And so I sip from my wine

I swallow my pride and say, "Not fair"

Be aware my soul is drifting far away

[Chorus]

You want this magic woman

To lay your bed at night

And to treat you right

But don’t ask what's done

I'm a magic woman

But I'm not the one you seek

See, I value value me too

I'm a magic woman

You want this magic woman

To lay your bed at night

And to treat you right

But don't ask what's done

I'm a magic woman

But I'm not the one you seek

See, I value value me too

I'm a magic woman
