Black Magic Woman / Oh Well (Live at the Record Plant, Sausalito, CA, 12/15/1974) Lyrics

I got a black magic woman
I got a black magic woman
I got a black magic woman
She's got me so blind I can't see
I got a black magic woman
And she's trying to make a devil out of me

Don't turn your back on me, baby
Don't turn your back on me now
Don't turn your back on me, baby
Messing around with your tricks
Don't turn your back on me, baby
Or you might break off one of my magic sticks

You got your spell on me, baby
You got your spell on me now
Yeah, you got your spell on me, baby
Turning my poor heart to stone
But I need you so bad
Magic woman, I can't leave you alone

Well, I need you, darling
I need you so bad
I need you, darling
I need you so bad
I want you to love me
I want you to love me
I want you to love me

I can't help it 'bout the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
Ooh well

Now when I talked to God I knew he'd understand
He said, "Stick by me, I'll be your guiding hand"
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
Ooh well
