That Old Black Magic
Enchanting Desires: Unraveling the Magic of Love
Lyrics
That old black magic has me in its spell
Feeling captivated by an enchanting and irresistible force of attraction or influence.
That old black magic that you weave so well
Referring to the captivating and skillful manner in which the individual casts this magical allure.
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
Sensations of shivers or chills moving up and down the speaker's back, likely due to the intensity of the enchantment.
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
Describing the recurrence of a bewitching feeling whenever the speaker and the person they're attracted to make eye contact.
Same old tingle that I feel inside
A familiar tingling sensation felt internally, indicating the rekindling of emotions.
And then that elevator starts its ride
Comparing the sensation to an elevator ride, suggesting a rising feeling of excitement or anticipation.
Down and down I go
Expressing a descent into deeper emotions or a state of being overwhelmed by feelings.
Round and round I go
Indicating a cyclical pattern of emotions or thoughts, perhaps feeling stuck in a repetitive cycle of attraction.
Like a leaf caught in the tide
Feeling helpless and swept away like a leaf carried by the tide, unable to resist the force of attraction.
I should stay away but what can I do
Expressing the awareness of the need to avoid the attraction but feeling powerless to do so.
I hear your name, and I'm a flame
Upon hearing the person's name, feeling intense passion and emotional arousal.
A flame, of burning desire
Describing the passionate intensity of the speaker's emotions and longing.
That only your kiss, kiss, kiss
Highlighting the belief that only the person's kisses can quench the speaker's intense emotions.
Can put out the fire
Emphasizing the person's role in calming or soothing the speaker's intense feelings.
For your the lover I have waited for
Viewing the person as the long-awaited romantic partner or soulmate destined by fate.
The mate that fate had me created for
Believing that destiny or fate has designed the person specifically for the speaker.
And every time your lips meet mine
Expressing the intense effect of every kiss shared between the speaker and the person, causing a repeating cycle of emotions.
Baby down and down I go, round and round I go
Describing the whirlwind of emotions experienced when in the presence of the person.
In a spin, lovin' that spin I'm in
Enjoying and being deeply immersed in the ecstatic state of love and attraction.
Under that old black magic called love
Attributing the overwhelming feelings and experiences to the potent and captivating force of love.
Love, love, love, love.
Repetition of "love" to emphasize the overwhelming and all-encompassing nature of the emotions described.
