In my life
I've seen sorrow
Heartache and pain
I've been burned by the sunshine
Been drowned in the pouring rain
Had too many lovers
And not enough love
I've been tried and convicted
For things I'm not guilty of
I was locked in a prison
'Til you came and set me free
So how can you say
You're no good for me

Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say anyway
Now that the magic has gone
There's no sense in holding on
Baby now, now that the magic is gone

You know love can be tender
Love can be cruel
It can smile like an angel
While it treats you just like a fool
It captures and haunts you
Until you give in
And it stacks the dice against you
In a game you never can win
Just when I was thinking
Lady Luck was here with me
You tell me it's over
Say it's time for breaking free

Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say anyway, baby
Now that the magic has gone
There's no sense in holding on
Baby, now, now that the magic is gone

I won't try to hold you down
My mind tells me, "let go"
But my heart keeps asking, "how?"

There's no prizes for the loser
Only the winner takes the purse
Some say that love is a blessing
But to me it's just a curse

Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say, anyway
Now that the magic has gone
There's no sense in holding on
Baby, now that the magic is gone
Now that the magic has gone
You just wanna walk away
Nothing left to say
