Magic (Magic)
Just like magic (Magic)

Do you think that you could last one whole day?
Without making a peep, or chiming in to what the people say
Do you think that you could last one whole day?
Without making a peep, or chiming in to what the people say
I don't think so.

I know someone downtown who'll let us drink for free
The best moments in life are always cheap
I got a couple of tricks hidden up my sleeve
Spend the night with me then you'll know what I mean

I got 69 problems but a witch ain't one
She's been casting her spells, but I've fallen in love
I got a white bunny rabbit hidden up my sleeve
Spend the night with me then you'll know what I mean.

Magic (Magic)
Just like magic (Magic)
Magic (Magic)

Do you think that you could last one whole night?
Without sleeping a wink, staying out under the moonlight.
