Lyrics of
Abracadabra

Abracadabra by Steve Miller Band, released in 1982, is celebrated for its catchy bass line and the usage of the term abracadabra to evoke a sense of magic and mystery. The lyrics discuss the overwhelming power of love and the magical feeling of being in love. The inclusion of the specific chord E7#9 adds to the songs enigmatic atmosphere.

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

Abra-abra-cadabra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra

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

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

Abra-abra-cadabra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra

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


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
(fade out)
