Black Magic Woman Lyrics
Got a black magic woman
I got a black magic woman
Yes, I got a black magic woman
She's got me so blind I can't see
But she's a black magic woman
And she's trying to make a Devil out of me
[Verse 2]
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 messing around with your tricks
Don't turn your back on me baby
Because you might just break up my magic stick
[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
Yes, I need you so bad
Well, I need you darling
Yeah, I need you darling
Yes, I want you to love me
I want you to love me
Whoa, I want you to love me, ah
Whoh, yeah
Oh, whoa, baby
Yes, I need your love
Oh, I need your love so bad
Yes, I want you to love me

Rolling Stone named it the #41 greatest Fleetwood Mac song, saying:
Fleetwood Mac’s first Top 40 single in the U.K. was written by Peter Green after he’d seen a scary play on TV. ‘There’s a whole group of skulls and things,’ he recalled. ‘It was so frightening.’ On ‘Black Magic Woman,’ he set that imagery to scruffy white-boy blues. The song might have become an obscurity had it not been for Santana’s hit remake two years later, which adhered to the original Mac arrangement. (The idea came from Santana keyboardist Gregg Rollie.) When Fleetwood Mac were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, Green was on hand to play ‘Black Magic Woman’ live with Santana.
