Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I'll be your entertainer, I'm putting on a show
I'm gonna levitate you
Leave you wan-wan-wantin' more
I see you fascinated, I've got you hypnotized
White gloves, what'd you dream of?
A fantasy before your eyes
[Chorus]
Step right up on the stage
Free yourself from the cage
Pick a card and guess it, girl
Here's a lesson, girl
It's just an illu—
One, two, three, I disappear
Coming right back
So stay right here
Ain't no second guessing, girl
I'm impressin', girl
But I'm just an illusion
[Interlude]
Ohh, uh, listen
[Verse 2]
I ain't no fake Houdini, I put a spell on you
I'm something like a genie, girl, I'll make your wish come true
And now, our time is runnin' with every grain of sand
So here's the grand finale, watch me do my sleight of hand
[Chorus]
Step right up on the stage
Free yourself from the cage (From the cage)
Pick a card and guess it, girl
Here's a lesson, girl
It's just an illusion
One, two, three, I disappear
Coming right back
So stay right here (Oh, yeah)
Ain't no second guessing, girl
I'm impressive, girl
It's just an illusion
[Bridge]
Somewhere in a dream
We'll meet again my baby
And I promise that I won't disappear
I'll be right here
And I won't be, won't be, won't be
Just an illusion
Yeah, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
Step right up on the stage
Free yourself from the cage (Yeah)
Pick a card and guess it, girl
Here's a lesson, girl
It's just an illusion
[Chorus]
One, two, three, I disappear
Coming right back
So stay right here
Ain't no second guessing, girl
I'm impressing, girl
But I'm just an illusion
[Pre-Chorus]
Step right up on the stage (On the stage)
Free yourself from the cage
Pick a card and guess it, girl (Yeah yeah yeah)
Here's a lesson, girl
It's just an illusion
[Chorus]
One, two, three, I disappear
Coming right back
So stay right here
Ain't no second guessing, girl
I'm impressing, girl
But I'm just an illusion
