Abracadabra Lyrics
I heat up, I can't cool down
You got me spinnin' 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round and 'round it goes
Where it stops nobody knows
Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burnin' flame
Burnin' flame full of desire
Kiss me, baby, let the fire get higher
[Chorus]
Abra-abra-cadabra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra
[Bridge]
You make me hot, you make me sigh
You make me laugh, you make me cry
Keep me burnin' for your love
With the touch of a velvet glove
[Chorus]
Abra-abra-cadabra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra
I feel the magic in your caress
I feel magic when I touch your dress
Silk and satin, leather and lace
Black panties with an angel's face
I can see magic in your eyes
I hear the magic in your sighs
Just when I think I'm gonna get away
I hear those words that you always say
[Chorus]
Abra-abra-cadabra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra
[Verse 3]
Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burnin' flame
Burnin' flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher, yeah, yeah
[Instrumental]
[Break]
I heat up, I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round
I heat up, I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round
I heat up, I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round
I heat up (I heat up), I can't cool down (I can't cool down)
My situation goes 'round and 'round ('Round and 'round)
I heat up (I heat up), I can't cool down (I can't cool down)
My situation goes 'round and 'round ('Round and 'round)
I heat up (I heat up), I can't cool down (I can't cool down)
About

Miller told The Dallas Morning News:
Abracadabra' started off as a great piece of music with really atrocious lyrics. One day I was out skiing in Sun Valley and, lo and behold, who did I see on the mountain but Diana Ross. I skied down off the mountain to go have lunch. I had played with Diana Ross and the Supremes on Hullabaloo in the ‘60s, and I started thinking about the Supremes and I wrote the lyrics to 'Abracadabra’ in 15 minutes.
