[Verse 1: Dolly Parton]
Cold late night so long ago
When I was not so strong, you know
A pretty man came to me
I'd never seen eyes so blue
You know, I could not run away, it seemed
We'd seen each other in a dream
Seemed like he knew me
He looked right through me, yeah

[Chorus: Dolly Parton]
"Come on home, girl," he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet, just get high awhile
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand I'm a magic man"

[Verse 2: Ann Wilson]
Winter nights, we sang in tune
Played inside thе months of moon
Never think of nevеr
Let this spell last forever
Summer lover passed to fall
Tried to realize it all
Mama says she's worried
You're growing up in a hurry, oh, yeah

[Chorus: Dolly Parton]
"Come on home, girl," Mama cried on the phone
"Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home"
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand he's a magic man

[Post-Chorus: Dolly Parton, Ann Wilson]
Mama
Ooh, he got magic hands

[Chorus: Dolly Parton, Ann Wilson, Both]
"Come on home, girl," he said with a smile
"I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child"
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, oh
Try, yeah, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand he's a magic man

[Post-Chorus: Ann Wilson, Dolly Parton]
Mm (Magic man)
(He's a magic man)

[Bridge: Dolly Parton, Ann Wilson]
A magic man with alluring eyes
Changed the course of my young life
He was a magic man
I was, oh, so quick to learn
I was caught up in the burn
Of a magic man
No one else could understand
Unless you've loved a magic man
Oh, oh
The way he swept me off my feet
Mama's love could not compete
The magic man is like a drug
And I'm addicted to his love

[Breakdown: Dolly Parton, Ann Wilson]
He is a magic man
He got magic hands
Ooh, oh, woah
Oh

[Chorus: Dolly Parton, Ann Wilson, Both]
"Come on home, girl," he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile"
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand he's a magic man, yeah, yeah
Oh
