I wanna be like Harry Houdini
And be the one to make the great escape
I wanna be where no one'll see me
You've gotta learn a lesson give and take.
I wanna be where lovin' is easy
If I could go it wouldn't be a dare
Cause when you look in my eyes
How can you not realize
That I could go and couldn't give a care.
I wanna be like Harry Houdini
Where there ain't nothin' that'll keep you in
I wanna be where no one'll see me
Can't find a way to say I can't begin.
And when I'm gone I know how you'll
miss me
How could there ever really be a doubt
Cause when you look in my eyes
How can you not realize
That you could never really be without.
How much more can I believe in
The Things they say
I'm past the point, I'm leavin'
I gotta get away.
Why should you try to change me
You never will
My past comes back to chase me
I won't be happy till
I wanna be like Harry Houdini
And be the one to make the great escape
I wanna be where no one'll see me
You've gotta learn a lesson give and take.
I wanna be where lovin' is easy
If I could go it wouldn't be a dare
Cause when you look in my eyes
How can you not realize
That I could go and couldn't give a care.
I wanna be (I'm gonna be)
I gotta be (I oughta be)
Just like Harry Houdini
