Oh, when I first said I was leaving
Girl, I didn't think I would
Have to stay gone so long
Oh, but now five weeks have ended
And I just realized that I did you wrong

[Chorus:]
But just think, y'all
I thought I was a big thing
But apparently she thought not
There must be something that I'm missing
Or is it something that she's got
Oh, baby, what is that
You got now, baby

Oh, I thought I had your mind right
Cause this is what you led me to believe
Oh, but now I'm the one who's uptight
And, baby, I'm the one who's got to plead

[Chorus:]

All your sweet loving, baby
Is, oh, so devastating to a man
Oh, but just like black magic. Baby
I'm no fool but I couldn't understand

[Chorus:]

It makes me wanna cry, baby
Baby, I love you
Oh, baby, oh, baby
