Blue Magic

The whistle blows as he makes his rounds
He's seen every town west of Mississippi
He's just a face painted all in smiles
Jumpin' up and down and makin' people happy

Though deep inside a shadow grows
He could laugh and no one knows
There's a lonely man inside

Life is a three ring circus
All of the ups and downs of a carousel
That I know so well

Life is a three ring circus
Just one little ride on a merry-go-round
Goin' round and round and round and round and round

He does the best like the minstrels did
Just to please the kids and keep the people laughing
But no one knows that beneath the clothes
And his turned up nose lives a lonely beggar

He needs the love he spreads around
But in life he's just a clown
Till they bring the curtain down

Life is a three ring circus
All of the ups and downs of a carousel
That I know so well

Life is a three ring circus
Just one little ride on a merry-go-round
Goin' round and round and round and round and round

He needs the love that can't be found
But you're just too blind to see
That the clown is really needy

Life is a three ring circus
All of the ups and downs of a carousel
That I know so well

Life is a three ring circus
Just one little ride on a merry-go-round
Goin' round and round and round and round and round

Goin' round and round and round and round and round
Goin' round and round and round and round and round
Goin' round and round and round and round and round
Goin' round and round and round and round and round
Goin' round and round and round and round and round

Trouble sleeping, trouble dreaming of you
Trouble speaking, trouble thinking of you
Something strange has happened, I just
Can't get myself, together, no kind of way for you

Must have put a spell on my mind, you must
Have put a spell on my mind and turned me around

Trouble seeing, trouble visions of you
Trouble thinking, trouble control my will to
Take a bow if you want to, I still can't
Get myself together, no kind of way for you

Must have put a spell on my mind, oh spell
Must have put a spell on my mind, you made
A new man of me, now I feel heavenly for you

Must have a put a spell on my mind
Must have put a spell on my mind
I'm under your power baby, oh, spell

Must have put a spell on my mind
I'm under your power baby, oh, spell
Must have put a spell on my mind

You see, I gave you everything I had
But you just pushed me away
I tried so hard to break loose
But you gained control everyday

Spell on my mind, I watched you take
My whole world from me and there was
Nothing I could do, a secret word
A hidden touch and I belonged to you, spell

Must have put a spell on my mind
I'm under your power baby
Must have put a spell on my mind, oh, spell

Must have put a spell on my mind
I'm under your power baby, oh, spell
Must have put a spell on my mind
I'm under your power baby
