Black Magic Woman Lyrics

Got a black magic woman
I got a black magic woman
Yes, I got a black magic woman
Got me so blind I can't see
But she's a black magic woman
And she's tryin' to make a devil out of me

Don't turn your back on me baby
Don't turn your back on me baby
Yes, don't turn your back on me baby
You're messin' around with your tricks
Don't turn your back on me baby
'Cause you might just break up my magic stick

You got your spell on me baby
You got your spell on me baby
Yes, you got your spell on me baby
You're turning my heart into stone
I need you so bad, magic woman, I can't leave you alone

Yes, I need you so bad
Well, I need you darling
Yeah, I need you darling
Yes, I want you love me
I want you love me
Whoa, I want you love me, ah
Whoh, yeah
Oh, whoa, baby
Yes, I need your love
Oh, I need your love so bad
I want you love me

Cover art for Black Magic Woman lyrics by Fleetwood Mac

They wrote it in their early days(pre Nicks/Buckingham) and it might even be a contribution from Peter Green or one of the other original members(they've had something like 15 members). Of course, Santana's cover is the version that became famous. BTW, I was told by my grandfather that the "black magic woman" in the song is actually his guitar: a Gibson Les Paul which is, obviously, black.

This song is assuredly by Fleetwood Mac. Peter Green wrote it for English Rose, he's given songwriting credit on Abraxas, and it hit 37 on the UK Billboard charts. And you'll observe that nowhere on the Santana version does anyone sing "I want you to love me." Santana breaks into Gypsy Queen instead. In any case, this song's a cool little bit of blues/rock mixed up with some Latin music. Pity Green and Spencer had to totally flip out on acid. I've always figured the lyrics were the standard blues nonsense that just sounds nice and bemoans unrequited love..
