Magic Man
Tori Amos · Other Songs - Tori Amos
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
Never seen eyes so blue
You know I could not run away
It seemed we'd seen each other in a dream
It 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
Let's 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
Growing up in a hurry, 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, mama, ah..
He's a magic man"
"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, oh... oh....
Try try to understand
Try try try to understand
He's a magic man" oh yeah
Oh, you've got the 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
I'm a magic man" yeah... oh...
