You tell me you don’t believe in magic
You ever hear that funky beat?
And you can’t help
But get up on your feet?

Your hands start to glide
Your ass starts to shake
And you can’t help that smile
Stretch wide across your face?

You tell me you don’t believe in magic
You ever hear that bass line lift?
And every motherfucker
Start banging to that shit?

You tell me you don’t believe in magic
You ever been in a room with all your mates?
And every one consumed
With moving in different shapes?

You tell me you don’t believe in magic
You ever been deep down in the shit?
And you just start laughing
Cause you see someone living life and loving it?

You tell me you don’t believe in magic
You ever see old folks shake their hips?
Up on the dance floor
Giving as good as all the kids?

You tell me you don’t believe in magic
You ever see lovers locking lips?
And they couldn’t care less
If others are watching it?

You tell me you don’t believe in magic
You ever see an old couple in their zone?
Laughing heartily like little kids
Together shuffling home?

You tell me you don’t believe in magic
Can you remember your first kiss?
And as you leaned in for the thrill
There’s a beat your heart skipped?

You tell me you don’t believe in magic
You ever hear that funky beat?
And you can’t help
But get up on your feet?

Your hands start to glide
Your ass starts to shake
And you can’t help that smile
Stretch wide across your face?

You tell me you don’t believe in magic
How laughable is this?
When you yourself are magic
So go out and shake your shit.
