Cold late night so long ago 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 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" and "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 Well, 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" and "My girl should be at home" But try to understand Try to understand Try, try, try to understand He's a magic man, Mama 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 He got the magic hands "Come on home, girl," he said with a smile "You don't have to love me" and "Let's get high awhile" But try to understand Try to understand Try, try, try to understand He's a magic man Yeah Oh.
