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?" and I don't know
Ask me, "Why?" and I say
"Now you see me, now you don't"
I thought by now you'd learn
You're gonna get your fingers burned
You know you gonna get burned
You get your fingers burned
You know you gonna get burned

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
"Chances are, you're playin' with fire"
I thought by now you'd learn
You're gonna get your fingers burned
You're gonna get your fingers burned
You know you're gonna get burned

Watch me closely, be aware
That all I do is only to surprise you
And every move is sleight of hand
And every word is planned to mystify you

Ask me, "Why?", I don't know
Ask me, "Why?" and I say
"Don't get fooled a second time"
I thought by now you'd learn
You're gonna get your fingers burned

You know you're gonna get
You know you're gonna get
You know you're gonna get burned
