I walked away
From the life that I was leading
Because you said that you were needing me
And I hesitate
Because my mother said be careful
And my friends they said beware
But no no no
So I kept myself tight
Cause it wouldn't be nice
It would be unkind
For me to unwind
So I sip from my wine
Swallow my pride
And say nothing
Meanwhile my soul is drifting far away
You want this magic woman
To lay your bed at night
And to treat you right
But don't ask questions
(I'm a magic) Woman
But I'm not the one you seek
You see I value value me too
I'm a magic woman
And if I leave
And you look me in the eye
I'm a devil in disguise to you
But if I stay
And you say that you can't take it
And god forbid I lose my patience
Oh no no
And so I kept myself tight
Cause it wouldn't be nice
It would be unkind
For me to unwind
So I sip from my wine
Swallow my pride
And say nothing
Meanwhile my soul is drifting far away
You want this magic woman
To lay your bed at night
And to treat you right
But don't ask questions
(I'm a magic) Woman
But I'm not the one you seek
See I value value me too
I'm a magic woman
