That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
The same old witch craft when your eyes meet mine
Same old tingle that I feel inside
And then the elevator starts its ride

Down and down I go
Round and round I go
Like a leaf that's caught in a tide
I should stay away but what can I do?
I hear your name and I'm a flame
A flame with such a burning desire

That only your kiss can put out the fire
For you're the lover I have waiting for
You're the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine

Darling down and down I go
Darling round I go
In a spin, lovin' the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin lovin' the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
In a spin lovin' 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, flame of desire
Only your kiss can put out the fire
Oh you are the lover I have waited for
Your the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine

Down and down I go
Round and round I go
In a spin, lovin' the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
