This song has always confused me. Usually, in pop music, they refer to magic as a symbolism for sex. Here it sounds like they are literally talking about Black Magic. Things like "Sip of potion" can be used for oral sex etc but I can't see how the lyrics of "Black Magic" can be read as playful with a double meaning.
Are they actually saying black magic is the only way to get this boy back?
It's either a poorly written pop song or a poorly written occult advert.
