  • Those fingers in my hair
    That sly come-hither stare
    That strips my conscience bare
    It's witchcraft

    And I've got no defense for it
    The heat is too intense for it
    What good would common sense for it do?

    'Cause it's witchcraft
    Wicked witchcraft
    And although, I know, it's strictly taboo

    When you arouse the need in me
    My heart says yes indeed in me
    Proceed with what you're leading me to

    It's such an ancient pitch
    But one I wouldn't switch
    'Cause there's no nicer witch than you

    'Cause it's witchcraft
    That crazy witchcraft
    And although, I know, it's strictly taboo

    When you arouse the need in me
    My heart says yes indeed in me
    Proceed with what you're leading me to

    It's such an ancient pitch
    But one that I'd never switch
    'Cause there's no nicer witch than you Writer/s: Carolyn Leigh, Cy Coleman

  • Billie from New YorkAs much as I love (love, love) the Sinatra version, Ella does an incredible rendition with a rarely heard verse in her Twelve Nights in Hollywood collection.
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn May 12th 1960, the Frank Sinatra TV special "Welcome Home Elvis" aired on the ABC-TV network...
    During the broadcast Elvis performed "Witchcraft", while Frank did "Love Me Tender"...
    As stated above, Elvis' covered version of the song peaked at #32 in 1963, it was the B-side of "Bossa Nova Baby", which peaked at #8...
    And Mr. Sinatra featured "Love Me Tender" on his 1980 album titled 'Trilogy: Past, Present, Future'.
  • Shane from Usa MichiganI'm going to bring this kind of music back! I do a Country version of this.
