THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC
The Glenn Miller Orchestra
Written by: Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer
#1 week of May 29, 1943
That old black magic has me in its spell,
That old black magic that you weave so well.
Those icy fingers up and down my spine,
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine.
The same old tingle that I feel inside,
And then that elevator starts its ride.
And down and down I go; round and round I go
Like a leaf that’s caught in the tide.
I should stay away, but what can I do?
I hear your name and I’m aflame.
Aflame with such a burning desire
That only your kiss can put out the fire.
For you’re the lover I have waited for,
The mate that Fate had me created for.
And every time your lips meet mine,
Darling, down and down I go; round and round I go
In a spin, loving the spin I’m in
Under that old black magic called love.

If you a dog let me hear ya bark
it ain't my fault that the dart that hit ya hard split you apart
you shoulda kept your guard
tryin to play it hard
last night pulled up in a black lex in the yard
tokin' on a roc-roc
you wanna murder me?
you got the wrong conspiracy
This Ain't Kennedy!
jealousy get you no where but legacy
you wanna wish? you better i dream a genie!

all i left her was a broken heart
and a bunch of lies that i told her
then i bounce before the sheets were warm
see im the type to love em and leave em
and for no reason i'll be out the door
dont catch feelin's cuz my heart is cold
see im that brotha that your mother tried to warn ya bout
but you just had to try it now your cryin on your mamas couch
you put your heart in the fire baby it burned up
so heres a little story bout a lesson you should learn
(Ryan Chorus)
It aint my fault that im a dog
i been in love before but me...
I picked the apple that was rotten to the core
i put the world at her feet she kicked it in the dirt
now i wont fall in love cuz i end up gettin hurt!
It aint my fault that im a dog!
i been in love before
but the trust i have in women has been thouroughly destroyed
i put the world at her feet she kicked it in the dirt
now i wont fall in love cuz Im always getting hurt

Well first of all it aint my fault that the chick broke your heart
if you was hurt you should have told me from the start
instead of sending me the flowers
all that candy and that gucci shit
on the phone for hours gassin me like im some goupy bitch
see ive been hurt to but that dont mean i ll hurt you
never did i burn u or run you like some do
now look at what we've come to
its young and its stupid
are u blamin all of us for ONE chick that was crooked
(claudette chorus)
It aint my fault that your a dog!
I been in love before but you.
