[Intro — deep bass pulse, distant guitar] You knew better. You came anyway. [Verse 1] I saw you watching from across the room, trying not to make it show. Playing like you came for someone else— Baby, we both know. I don’t have to call you over. I don’t have to say your name. You keep telling yourself you’re in control— while walking straight into the flame. [Instrumental — heavy bass, guitar bends] [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it’s the way I move. Maybe it’s the way you stare. Maybe there was never magic— Maybe you just want me there. [Chorus] Call me your black magic woman if it helps you sleep at night. Blame the dark, blame the moon, blame the way I hold your eyes. Say I pulled you under. Say you never had a choice. But there ain’t no spell between us— You just like the sound of my voice. [DROP — deep 808s, distorted violin, smoky guitar] [Verse 2] I could give you one more warning. But I think you’ve heard enough. You don’t want me sweet and harmless. You came looking for the rush Every time I pull away, you find another reason to stay. So don’t tell me I enchanted you— You followed me all the way. [Beat strips down] I never made you want me. I just knew you already did. [Instrumental] [Chorus] Call me your black magic woman if it makes the truth go down. Tell yourself I took your senses when you see me come around. Say I pulled you under. Say you never had a choice. But there ain’t no spell between us— You just like the sound of my voice. [Long bass-heavy instrumental — guitar and violin trading short phrases] [Bridge — nearly whispered] No potion. No prayer. No smoke in the air. Just you— standing too close, pretending you don’t care. Come on. Tell me again how this is all my fault. [Final drop] [Final Chorus] Call me your black magic woman. Go ahead. Make me the sin. Tell yourself I opened the door— Like you weren’t dying to walk in. There was never any magic. There was never any curse. You wanted something dangerous— I just wanted you to say it first. [Outro — bass fading] Black magic? Mm. If that’s what you need to call it.
