Those fingers in my hair
That sly come-hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft
And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for
it do?
'cause it's witchcraft, wicked
witchcraft
And although I know it's
strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says "Yes,
indeed" in me
"Proceed with what you're
leadin' me to"
It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'cause there's no nicer witch
than you
<instrumental>
'cause it's witchcraft, that
crazy witchcraft
And although I know it's
strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says "Yes,
indeed" in me
"Proceed with what you're
leadin' me to"
It's such an ancient pitch
But one I'd never switch
'cause there's no nicer witch
than you
