She’s got the magic touch
And you’re walkin’ around in a dream
She’s got the magic touch
Oh no, but it ain’t what it seems

You feel there’s a fire burnin’
When she feels cold inside
But you still want her much too much

One day when she leaves you lonely
You won’t be satisfied (won’t be satisfied)
Until you feel her magic touch
Her magic touch, her magic touch, her magic touch

She’s got the magic touch
And you’re under a spell that she’s cast
She’s got the magic touch
Oh no, but it ain’t gonna last

She’s keepin’ her love light shinin’
To blind you from her lie (blind you from her lie)
But you still need her oh so much

And when she says she’s leaving
That’s when you realize (when you realize)
How much you need her magic touch
Her magic touch, her magic touch, her magic touch

And in the night in the crowd
She’ll be there
As she prances by your watch
While your dreams fade away

She’s got the magic touch
And you’re walkin’ around in a dream
She’s got the magic touch
Oh no, but it ain’t what it seems

One day when she leaves you lonely
You’ll miss her oh so much
Until you feel her magic touch (feel her magic touch)
Her magic touch, her magic touch
(Feel her magic touch), her magic touch

She’s got the magic touch, I really want her
She’s got the magic touch, and I still need her
She’s got the magic touch, I really want her
She’s got the magic touch, and I really want her
She’s got the magic touch, and I still need her
