You’re Gonna Get Your Fingers Burned
[Verse 1]
Watch me closely, catch my eye
If you do I beg you to remind me
Who is stronger, who is weak
Of those who seek
And don't know where to find me
Ask me why, I don't know
You ask me why, and I say

[Chorus 1]
Now you see me, now you don't
I thought by now you'd learned
You're gonna get your fingers burned

[Verse 2]
Watch me closely, understand
That what you see is only an illusion
If I'm wrong and you are right
Then I will light your darkness with confusion
Ask me why, I don't know
You ask me why and I say

[Chorus 2]
Chances are you're playing with fire
I thought by now you'd learned
You're gonna get your fingers burned
[Verse 3]
Watch me closely, be aware
That all I do is only to surprise you
Every move is sleight of hand
And every word is planned to mystify you
You ask me why I don't know
You ask me why and I say

[Chorus 3]
Don't get fooled a second time
I thought by now you'd learned
You're gonna get your fingers burned
