[Intro: Spoken]
You are under my power
It is the power of love

[Verse 1]
Eyes that hypnotize
And all it takes is just once glance
Just one look at him
Puts me in a lover's trance

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Now listen, no rabbits in his hand
No pigeons up his sleeve
But you better believe (You better believe)
When I prove he can do so much

[Chorus]
My baby must be a magician
'Cause he's sure got the magic touch

[Verse 2]
Oh, my morale was low
Then he appeared just like a genie
His love has the power
He's my private great Houdini

[Pre-Chorus 2]
No reading decks of cards
No cords that disappear
No special gear
Like Aladdin's lamp and such

[Chorus]
But my baby must be a magician
'Cause he's sure got the magic touch

[Bridge]
Whenever I'm feeling bad
My baby simply kisses me
And then Presto, Change-o, Ala-kazam
I'm alright again
Oh, yes I am
Yes, I am alright

[Pre-Chorus 3]
No mystic crystal ball
No long black flowing cape
But I can't escape (I can't escape)
From his tender loving touch

[Chorus]
Oh, my baby must be a magician
'Cause he's sure got the magic touch

[Outro]
Say, my baby must be a magician
'Cause he's sure got the magic touch
