No one can explain it
Certainly not you or me
It happened just the way that it happened
It happened so easily
From the moment I first laid my eyes on you
I felt that peculiar buzz
And if you ask me why that is
I can only say because
Our strange magic
We feel just what we feel
Our strange magic
And what we feel is real
Our strange magic
It is just what it is
Our strange magic
By golly gee whiz
There is something about your gentle hands
Something about the way that you talk
Something about your deep green eyes
That makes it all a cakewalk
I never have to struggle
To get my feelings across
And girl when you’re not around
I really feel at a loss
If this ain’t love
Well what the hell do you name it
If this ain’t love
I would like to proclaim it
It feels so strange and foreign to me
Like a flavor I’ve never tasted
Every time we snuggle up
We fit together cut and pasted
Can’t imagine losing you
The thought of it makes me sick
That we ever found each other at all
It’s our greatest magic trick
