Magic Man
The Heart Lyrics

Cold, late night so long ago
This event happened a long time ago on a cold, late night.

When I was not so strong you know
During this time, the singer was feeling weak and vulnerable.

A pretty man came to me
A charming man approached the singer.

I never seen eyes so blue
The singer was struck by the man's uniquely blue eyes.

You know, I could not run away it seemed
Despite her reservations, the singer felt drawn to the man and couldn't resist his charm.

We'd seen each other in a dream
The singer and the man felt like they had a connection from a previous dream or encounter.

Seemed like he knew me, he looked right through me, yeah
The man seemed to understand the singer on a deeper level and could see through any facade she put up.

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
The man invited the singer back to his place with a charming smile.

"You don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile
He then suggests that they spend some time together getting high and enjoying each other's company, without any immediate commitment.

But try to understand, try to understand
However, he asks that she make an effort to truly understand him as a person.

Try, try, try to understand, I'm a magic man"
He describes himself as a 'magic man,' perhaps referencing his ability to charm and manipulate others.

Winter nights we sang in tune
The two spent the winter months together, singing and enjoying each other's company.

Played inside the months of moon
Their romance suited the romantic, dreamy ambiance of the moonlit winter season.

"Never think of never let this spell last forever"
They made a promise to themselves to cherish and extend the magic of their connection.

Well, summer lover passed to fall
Their romance couldn't last forever, and eventually the leaves began to fall and the seasons changed.

Tried to realize it all
The singer tried to come to terms with the end of their romance and what it all meant.

Mama says she's worried, growing up in a hurry
The singer's mother expresses her concern about her daughter growing up too fast.

"Come on home, girl" Mama cried on the phone
The mother begs the singer to come home, still viewing her as a child who needs protecting.

"Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home"
The mother thinks it's too early for the singer to be out on her own and wants her to return home.

But try to understand, try to understand
Despite her mother's concerns, the singer asks that she try to understand that she's grown up and can make decisions for herself now.

Try, try, try to understand, he's a magic man, Mama, ah
The singer reaffirms that despite the pain she's feeling, the man continues to be a captivating figure in her life.

He's a magic man
The singer reinforces the idea that the man truly is a powerful figure in her life.

"I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child"
The man boasts of his ability to have taken the singer, who was once just a mere child, and enchanted her with his love.

Oh, oh, try, try, try to understand, he's a magic man, oh, he's got the magic hands
The singer emphasizes once more that the man has a magnetic and captivating effect on her, as if he has some kind of mystical power over her.
