That Old Black Magic
Enchanting Desires: Succumbing to the Spell of Old Black Magic
Lyrics
Old black magic has me in its spell
Feeling entrapped or influenced by an enduring and mysterious force.
Old black magic that you weave so well
Acknowledging the captivating and skillful way the person uses this enchantment or magic.
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
Describing a chilling sensation that affects the speaker emotionally.
The same old witch craft when your eyes meet mine
Referring to the recurrence of a bewitching connection when making eye contact.
Same old tingle that I feel inside
Emphasizing the familiar tingling sensation felt internally.
Then the elevator starts it ride
Metaphorically illustrating the sensation of being on a thrilling journey or experience, likened to an elevator ride.
Down and down I go
Expressing a downward emotional plunge due to the influence of this magic.
Round and round I go
Highlighting the cyclical nature of emotions, feeling trapped in a continuous cycle.
Like a leaf caught in a tide
Comparing the feeling of being unable to resist the enchantment to being swept along like a leaf in a tide.
I should stay away but what can I do
Acknowledging the difficulty in resisting this magical influence despite knowing one should.
I hear your name and I'm a flame
Reacting intensely, feeling impassioned upon hearing or thinking about the person.
Flame, flame of desire
Describing the speaker's fiery passion.
Only your kiss can put out the fire
Implies that only the person's kiss can calm or satisfy this intense passion.
Oh you're the lover I have waiting for
Portrays the belief that this person is the ideal romantic partner long awaited.
Your the mate that fate had me created for
Perceiving the person as destined or fated to be together.
And every time your lips meet mine
Reinforcing the powerful effect of their interactions on the speaker.
Down and down I go
Reiterating the downward emotional spiral due to the influence of the magic.
Round and round I go
Expressing the cyclical and dizzying nature of emotions.
In a spin, lovin' the spin I'm in
Enjoying and embracing the whirlwind of emotions caused by this magical influence.
Under the old black magic called love
Connecting the intense emotional experience to the magic of love.
In a spin lovin' the spin I'm in
Repetition of feeling captivated by the magic of love.

Continuing the emphasis on being under the sway of love's enchantment.
