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
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
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
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)
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.
