[English]

Call it magic

...

Call it true

I call it magic

When I'm with you

...

And I just got broken

Broken into two

...

Still I call it magic

When I'm next to you

...

And I don't, and I don't, and I don't, and I don't

No, I don't, it's true

No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't

Want anybody else but you

No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't

No, I don't, it's true

No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't

Want anybody else but you

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Call it magic

Cut me into two

...

And with all your magic

I disappear from view

And I can't get over

Can't get over you

Still I call it magic

...

Such a precious jewel

...

And I don't, and I don't, and I don't, and I don't

No, I don't, it's true

No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't

Want anybody else but you

No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't

No, I don't, it's true

No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't

Want anybody else but you

Wanna fall

Fall so far

I wanna fall

Fall so hard

And I call it magic

And I call it true

I call it ma-, ma-ma-magic

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

...

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

...

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

And if you were to ask me

After all that we've been through

"Still believe in magic?"

Oh, yes, I do

...

Oh, yes, I do

Oh, yes, I do

Oh, yes, I do

...

Of course, I do

...
