about
Our first single! We really went for an 80's R&B sound on this one. Heavily inspired by Bobby Brown, Janet Jackson and Rick James production style.
lyrics
I should stop looking in your direction
But I'm a magic man and girl I need your attention
Break these chains baby, I take them off I'm making a move
I can't tell if I'm falling in love or I just got something to Prove
I don't want to get to know you
Probably should delete your number and get my mind out of the gutter
I don't want to waste your time
but how can I be yours if someone's already mine
I ain't your houdini
Break out of the collar of my design
I ain't your houdini
falling out of love before it's time
Subtle invitation; come on out to the show
you want to see some things that you never have seen before
trying so hard; but I don't want to push it forward
you say encore I say where you going afterwards
I don't want to get to know you
a friendly little backstage huddle but only if you're down with the struggle
I don't want to waste your time
the night we spend together the last day of my life
I ain't your houdini
break out of the collar of my design
I ain't your Houdini
falling out of love before it's time
I ain't your Houdini
break out of the collar of my design
I ain't your Houdini
falling out of love before it's time
I don't want to get to know you
it'd make my day easier to get through
if I never looked into your eyes
I wouldn't have to tell no lies
I wouldn't have to tell no lies 3x
I don't want to get to know you
you fellas might call me crazy but I could never do that to my baby
I don't want to waste your time
thought I was before but I just ain't that kind
I ain't your houdini
break out of the collar of my design
I ain't your houdini
fallin out of love before it's time
I ain't your houdini
break out of the collar of my design
I ain't your houdini
falling out of love before it's time
