Píseň: Jesse

Interpret:
Joan Armatrading
Album:
Sleight of Hand
To save her from the beast
To save her from herself
And all the troubles
She imagines
In the world
Oh Jesse


You can do magic
You can do magic
You can do magic
It's a pleasure
How you stole her heart


They sail off to the Sun
He makes romance
The story always stops the same way
A happy end
Oh Jesse
Jesse


You can do magic
You can do magic
You can do magic
It's a pleasure
How you stole her heart


So strong and handsome
Like a raging river You tantalise
You sparkle


You can do magic
You can do magic
You can do magic
It's a pleasure
How you stole her heart


The only one she trusts
The only man
She runs her fingers down the index
And there she stops
At hero
Jesse


You can do magic
You can do magic
You can do magic
It's a pleasure
How you stole her heart
