Abracadabra By STEVE MILLER BAND (Cover)

Released as the main single from Abracadabra in June 1982, it became a number-one hit on the United States Billboard Hot 100 chart, and also hit number two on the UK charts. It followed Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" (from Rocky III) on the Hot 100, and preceded Chicago's "Hard to Say I'm Sorry". After Chicago's ballad ended its two-week stay at number one, "Abracadabra" re-assumed the top spot on the U.S. charts for an additional week on September 25. John Cougar's "Jack and Diane" dislodged the Steve Miller Band's final number-one hit from the top on October 2.

This song holds the record for the biggest drop out of the Top 10/Top 40 on the Hot 100. In the fall of 1982, as the song was moving down the chart, "Abracadabra" fell 38 spots from #10 to #48 in one week.

The song is listed at #70 on Billboard's Greatest Songs of all time. (Courtesy of wikipedia)

Lyrics:

I heat up, I can't cool down

You got me spinnin'

'Round and 'round

'Round and 'round and 'round it goes

Where it stops nobody knows

***********

Every time you call my name

I heat up like a burnin' flame

Burnin' flame full of desire

Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

Abra-abra-cadabra

I want to reach out and grab ya

Abra-abra-cadabra

Abracadabra

You make me hot, you make me sigh

You make me laugh, you make me cry

Keep me burnin' for your love

With the touch of a velvet glove

Repeat chorus

I feel the magic in your caress

I feel magic when I touch your dress

Silk and satin, leather and lace

Black panties with an angel's face

I see magic in your eyes

I hear the magic in your sighs

Just when I think I'm gonna get away

I hear those words that you always say

Repeat chorus

Repeat ***** verse

Repeat chorus

Tab/Chords: Available upon request.
