That Old Black Magic
Enchanted Desires: Mel Powell's Alluring Tale of Old Black Magic
Lyrics
Old black magic has me in its spell
Feeling captivated or influenced by an old, powerful enchantment
Old black magic that you weave so well
Acknowledging the proficiency of the person in weaving this enchantment
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
Describing a sensation akin to a chill moving up and down the spine
The same old witch craft when your eyes meet mine
Referring to the familiar magical connection felt when eyes make contact
Same old tingle that I feel inside
Expressing the same tingling sensation felt internally
Then the elevator starts it ride
Metaphorically depicting a sensation similar to an elevator's movement
Down and down I go
Emphasizing a descent or a feeling of sinking
Round and round I go
Conveying a cyclic, repetitive motion
Like a leaf caught in a tide
Comparing one's situation to being caught and moved by the force of a tide
I should stay away but what can I do
Expressing a sense of inability to resist despite knowing one should
I hear your name and I'm a flame
Associating hearing the person's name with a sudden feeling of intense attraction
Flame, flame of desire
Describing the intensity of desire or passion
Only your kiss can put out the fire
Implies that only the person's kiss can satisfy or calm the passionate feelings
Oh you're the lover I have waiting for
Identifying the person as the anticipated lover
Your the mate that fate had me created for
Belief that fate intended the union with this specific person
And every time your lips meet mine
Highlighting the intensity felt when lips touch
Down and down I go
Reiterating the feeling of descent or sinking
Round and round I go
Reinforcing the cyclical nature of the experience
In a spin, lovin' the spin I'm in
Expressing enjoyment or affection for the situation one is in
Under the old black magic called love
Attributing these sensations and experiences to love's powerful influence
In a spin lovin' the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
-In a spin lovin' the spin I'm in
-Under the old black magic called love
-I should stay away but what can I do
Reiteration of feeling unable to resist despite awareness
I hear your name and I'm a flame
Reaffirming the sudden intense attraction upon hearing the person's name
Flame, flame of desire
Emphasizing the intensity of desire or passion
Only your kiss can put out the fire
Indicating that only the person's kiss can satisfy or calm the passionate feelings
Oh you are the lover I have waited for
Reiterating the belief that the person is the awaited lover
Your the mate that fate had me created for
Reaffirming the belief that fate intended the union with this specific person
And every time your lips meet mine
Highlighting the intense feeling evoked when lips meet
Down and down I go
Reiteration of the feeling of descent or sinking
Round and round I go
Reiteration of the cyclical nature of the experience
In a spin, lovin' the spin I'm in
Expressing enjoyment or affection for the situation one is in
Under the old black magic called love
Attributing these sensations and experiences to love's powerful influence
