It Must Be Magic
Marie Teena Lyrics

You are under my power It is the power of love
The singer exerts a hold over their lover, which comes from their love for each other

You say my kisses taste like magic, well, stop That's got to be the classic line Please no more "Presto-Changeo" now that I'm in love, baby 'Cause that would really blow my mind I'd pull a rabbit out of my hat Or cross a black cat's path to find you And darling, you can best believe There's nothing up my sleeve but love
The singer's lover compares their kisses to magic, and the singer jokes about performing magic tricks to impress their lover. However, the singer reassures their lover that there is nothing up their sleeve except their love

It must be magic (It must be magic) It must be magic (It must be magic) It must be magic, got me under your spell It must be magic (It must be magic), oh, baby It must be magic (It must be magic) Ooh, you got me tiltin' just like a pinball machine Keep workin' my love such a magical feeling You got me tiltin' just like a pinball machine And I love it, love it, love it (Tilt me)
The singer believes their love is magical and they are under their lover's spell. The singer compares their feelings to a pinball machine, tilted by their lover's love, which makes them feel euphoric

You say you know I've got the potion, well, stop No baby, don't stop, don't you dare (Don't you stop it, baby, don't you dare) Aladdin, Houdini and Merlin the Magician To you they never could compare I see no long black flowing cape Yet still I can't escape those two eyes (When I look in your eyes) And we don't need no crystal ball 'Cause we have said it all in love
The artist's lover claims they have a love potion to keep their love strong, but the artist insists their love is natural and powerful without it. The artist makes reference to famous magicians to suggest their love is extraordinary. And no matter how hard the artist tries, they find their lover's eyes irresistible. The artist doesn't need a magical crystal ball to see that their love is true

Temptations, sing Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, It must be magic
The artist makes a reference to the Temptations and their hit song "My Baby Must Be a Magician" to suggest that their lover has the same magical touch

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, It must be magic, baby 'Cause it feels so good Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, It must be magic, baby 'Cause it feels so good
The singer repeats that their love must be magical because it feels so good

Teena went to Wonderland, the plot is getting thick (Ooh, magic) Met the King of Punk Funk and he taught her all the tricks She feels the heat, there's magic in her feet Now she's groovin', always movin' to the funky beat Under your spell, ooh, it must be magic Under your spell, what is it, what is it Under your spell, ooh, it must be magic
This verse describes a story where Teena goes to a magical Wonderland and learns from the King of Punk Funk. The singer relates to this story and confirms that they are also under their lover's spell, which must be magic

It must be magic 'Cause it feels so good to me It must be magic Got me love, got me loving you It must be magic 'Cause it feels so good to me It must be magic Got me love, got me loving you
The artist repeats that their love must be magic because it feels great and they love their lover

It must be magic Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, It must be magic Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Baby must be a magician 'cause he's sure got the magic touch Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, It must be magic Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, My baby must be a magician 'cause he's sure got the magic touch
The artist repeats that their lover's touch is magical, and their baby must be a magician because of it
