"Watching The River Flow"

(As recorded by Lobo)
KENT LAVOIE

Thumbin' 'cross Georgia I ran into Gloria
She seemed like a mystic to me
With a wave of the hand she could make you feel grand
That was a mystery
Now I'll admit she knew a lot of tricks
But so do lots of other chicks.

She didn't do it like you can do magic
She didn't do it to me
She didn't do it like you can do it
She didn't do magic to me.

Hikin' through Virginia I met Melinda
She looked enchantin' to see
She said give me your arms and I'll show you my charms
That was the sorcery
I'll say it, I will she had a lot of skill
But compared to you she was way down hill.

She didn't do it like you can do magic
She didn't do it to me
She didn't do it like you can do it
She didn't do magic to me.

Arriving in Cleveland I'm coming to see you
Get your crystal ball out of the drawer
'Cause I can tell if you been usin' your spell
And baby I know what for
The magic you loaned me was to bring me home
And baby my love for you has grown

So you better do it like you can do magic
You better do it to me
'Cause she didn't do it like you can do it
She didn't do magic to me
No she didn't do it like you can do it
She didn't do magic to me.
