Analysis of Magic potion

Riaan Smit 1988 (Windhoek)



Hey babe, tell me if you can
Sweet little baby, am I your loving man

Hey babe won't you ease my worried mind
I need to know if you really are truly mine
Every day ends the same way
with me wondering by myself in my lone time

Hey babe, won't you please just let know
If I’m not yours then you gotta let me go
Before it's too late and love turns to hate
And spend the rest of my days all alone

All I'm asking is don't let my feet hit the ground
Before I go full crazy should I stick around
Oh won't you let me know
Because I want to lay you down
