Magic Man (Carl Version)

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

"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"

Winter nights, we sang in tune
Played inside the months of moon
Never think of never
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

"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
Ooh, he got magic hands

"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

Mm (magic man)
(He's a magic man)

A magic man with luring 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 the 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
A magic man is like a drug and I'm addicted to his love

He is a magic man
He got magic hands

"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
