I’ve love this song from Ghostbusters. But the lyrics I’m not sure of.

I hear:

Empty words, endless tunes, You see me, I see you. In a crowd, see my face.
I love you.
Take my hand, n walk with me.
My beauty will always be.
Fantasy can come true, If you believe, believe it will.
I Believe it’s Magic etc…

The only lyrics I can find online are these:

"Empty woods, endless tunes
You see me, I see you
In a crowd, see my face
I love you

Take my hand, walk with me
Love you do will always be
[Incomprehensible] can come true
If you believe, believe it will
I believe it’s magic"

And sound wrong? Especially the "[Incomprehensible] " part lol

I hear the same! However…

English is not my mother tongue and I’ve always been terrible at hearing lyrics. 14years of living in the UK did not really help with that :sweat_smile:

Rhythmically, this song seems like it’s working hard to check off a couple of different boxes.

In any case, here’s what I heard lyrically:

Empty words
Endless dreams
You see me
I see you
In a crowd
See my face
I love you

Take my hand
Walk with me
My beauty, you’ll always be [ ← hardest part to make out because of how the backing vocals cover the first couple of words ]
Fantasy can come true
If you believe, believe it will

I believe it’s magic
I believe it’s magic
I believe it’s magic
Magic

“I’m here for you”
That’s what you said
I never felt like this a woman
Any woman [ let the debate commence whether he’s singing to a woman, or a man ]
Strangers meet
Strangers dream
Some call it love
I call it magic

Now I’m in you
And it feels so right
So hold on
Hold on tight
Yes, it’s true
I believe, believe in you

I believe it’s magic
I believe it’s magic
I believe it’s magic
Magic

I believe it’s magic
I believe it’s magic
I believe it’s magic
Magic

My baby told me once
My baby told me twice
My baby told me three times
Three times nice
Please
Please
Please
Let’s make some

I believe it’s magic
I believe it’s magic
I believe it’s magic
Magic

I believe it’s magic
I believe it’s magic
I believe it’s magic
Magic

Magic
Magic

[moaning]

Took my hand
And walked with me
Said “I’ll tell you Mick
I do believe
In the power of love” [ listener can decide where the quotation ends, though presumably the other party didn’t talk to him about singing ]
No magic wands
A thing that makes me sing this song

Please
Please
Please

Almost no one knows this anecdote, but that line was written by Yoda

Thank you for typing all of it.
Yeah that part is hard to hear, I like “my beauty will always be” as it’s kind of self belief and goes with asking someone to take your hand. But so does “My beauty, you’ll always be” as you’ve typed.
