[Chorus]
They say just before I go
Tell me every time you see me
I'm not here for long
Catch me or I go Houdini
Just before I go
Prove you got the right to see me
Everybody knows
Catch me or I go Houdini
[Verse 1]
Time is passin' like a solar eclipse
See you watchin' and you know it's like this
It's your moment, baby, don't let it slip
Listen closer, so you know what it is
[Chorus]
They say just before I go
Tell me every time you see me
I'm not here for long
Catch me or I go Houdini
Just before I go
Prove you got the right to see me
Everybody knows
Catch me or I go Houdini
[Post-Chorus]
If you're smart enough, you'll find the way
Maybe you could cause someone to change (Their ways)
Do you think about it night and day?
Maybe you could be the one to make me stay
[Verse 2]
Everything you say is soundin' so sweet (Ah-ah)
But do you practice everythin' that you preach? (Ah-ah)
I need something that'll make me believe (Ah-ah)
If you know it, baby, tell it to me
[Chorus]
They say just before I go
Tell me every time you see me
I'm not here for long
Catch me or I go Houdini
Just before I go (Just before I go)
Prove you got the right to see me
Everybody knows (I'm not here for long)
Catch me or I go Houdini
[Post-Chorus]
If you're smart enough, you'll find the way
Maybe you could cause someone to change (Their ways)
Do you think about it night and day?
Maybe you could be the one to make me stay
[Bridge]
Oh-oh
Ooh
[Chorus]
They say just before I go
Tell me every time you see me (Ooh)
I'm not here for long
Catch me or I go Houdini (Hahaha)
Just before I go (Just before I go)
Prove you got the right to see me
Everybody knows (I'm not here for long)
Catch me or I go Houdini
