Black Magic Woman
Carlos Santana/Santana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a black magic woman
I've got a black magic woman
Got me so blind I can't see
That she's a black magic woman
She's trying to make a devil out of me
Don't turn your back on me, baby
Yes, don't turn your back on me, baby
Stop messing about with your tricks
Don't turn your back on me, baby
You just might pick up my magic sticks
You got your spell on me, baby
You got your spell on me, baby
Yes, you got your spell on me, baby
Turnin' my heart into stone
I need you so bad
Magic woman I can't leave you alone
The lyrics to Carlos Santana's Black Magic Woman explore the powerful and all-consuming nature of infatuation. The song's narrator is under the spell of a woman who possesses a mysterious and dangerous quality, likened to that of black magic. He is blinded by her allure and can no longer see clearly, even as she tries to lead him on a path of darkness and temptation. Despite the warning signs that she is playing with his heart and mind, he cannot resist her pull and is willing to sacrifice himself to her power.
The song's lyrics are a commentary on the often complex and confusing nature of romantic relationships, particularly those that involve a power dynamic or a sense of mystique. The idea of a "black magic woman" represents the danger and allure of the unknown, while the singer's willingness to be consumed by her speaks to the intensity and passion of romantic love. Ultimately, the song is both an ode to the seductive power of love and a warning about the dangers of blindly following our desires.

Got a black magic woman
I have a woman who practices black magic
Got me so blind I can't see
She has blinded me with her magic
That she's a black magic woman
Confirming that she is indeed practicing black magic
She's trying to make a devil out of me
She is attempting to corrupt me and make me evil
Don't turn your back on me, baby
Do not ignore me, dear
Stop messing about with your tricks
Stop playing around with your magic spells
You just might pick up my magic sticks
You might end up being affected by my own magic
You got your spell on me, baby
You have put a spell on me
Turnin' my heart into stone
You are making me cold and unfeeling
I need you so bad
I have a strong desire for you
Magic woman I can't leave you alone
I am unable to stay away from you, my magical woman

My Dad passed away on Wednesday February 1, 2023. He was a huge Santana fan. He had amazing taste in music. From a very young age, I can remember waking up to him playing this song from his bedroom, and then as I got ready for school.
I will miss you SO MUCH Pop. My heart is broken. I miss my morning phone call from you...especially your "My son!" after I said hello. You're no longer in pain or suffering. I love you Papasito. ❤️
