Now That The Magic Has Gone / Joe Cocker

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 
Till 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 
Maybe 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 
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
