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



Repeat
