Blue Magic Lyrics

Trouble
Dreaming of you
Trouble speaking
Trouble
Thinking of you
Something strange has happened,
Together
No kind of way
For you
Must have put a spell on my mind
You must have put a spell on my mind,
And turned me around
Trouble seeing
Trouble
Visions of you
Trouble thinking
Trouble
Control my will to
Take a bow if you want to,
I still can't get myself
Together
No kind of way
For you
Must have put a spell on my mind
Oh, spell
Must have put a spell on my mind
You made a new man of me
Now I feel heavenly
For you
Must have a put a spell on my mind
Must have put a spell on my mind
I'm under your power baby
Oh, spell
Must have put a spell on my mind
I'm under your power baby
Oh, spell
Must have put a spell on my mind
You see, I gave you everything I had,
But you just pushed me away,
I tried so hard to break loose,
But you gained control everyday
Spell on my mind
I watched you take my whole world from me,
and there was nothing I could do
A secret word, a hidden touch
And I belonged to you
Spell
Must have put a spell on my mind
I'm under your power baby
Must have put a spell on my mind
Oh, spell
Must have put a spell on my mind
I'm under your power baby
Oh, spell
Must have put a spell on my mind
I'm under your power baby
"Spell" by Blue Magic is a song about being unable to shake off someone's hold on you. The singer is haunted by the one they love, and they are unable to function properly because of it. The chorus repeats the idea that someone has put a spell on them, suggesting that they are powerless to their love interest's charms. The lyrics describe physical and mental struggles; the singer is troubled when they try to sleep, speak, or think because their mind is consumed by thoughts of their beloved. Every action is somehow influenced by the effect of their love, giving the impression that they are being controlled.
The line "Take a bow if you want to" is particularly interesting. It implies that the singer's object of affection is merely toying with them, and they are unable to resist their grip despite the manipulation. The lyrics reveal a complicated and unhealthy relationship and the feeling of being trapped within it. The song's instrumentation adds to the haunting feeling, with ethereal backing vocals and the use of the harp. The entire song feels like a dreamlike state, with the singer being dragged through their experience.

and there was nothing I could do
And I was powerless
A secret word, a hidden touch
Your secretive commands and hidden manipulation
And I belonged to you
And I was in your complete control

No date tonight, or no date for the weekend. Oh, No !
Its only Love, Its only love you seeking .
Still I sit too shy to tell her my feelings. Missing every chance to show her a ball.
Wishing other guys would leave her alone.
Until I can call, I Sit Alone, Again, while she goes out with him.
She holds me tight and shows me good vibration.
And she feels so real, until I awaken .
Still I sit too shy to tell her my feelings. Missing every chance to show her a ball.
Wishing other guys would leave her alone.
Until I can call, I Sit Alone, Again, while she goes out with him.
(MUSIC BREAK)
Still I sit too shy to tell her my feelings. Missing every chance to show her a ball.
Wishing other guys would leave her alone.
Until I can call, I Sit Alone, Again, while she goes out with him.
Sitting here, all alone, waiting by the telephone.
She's gone out with him . Come on home.
I think I finally got the nerve.
She's still out with him.
I think I finally got the nerve.
She's still out with him.
