How You Did It
JoJo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'mma tell the whole world how you did it
The world how you did it, whole world how you did it
I'm onto you
Tell the whole world how you did it
The world how you did it, whole world how you did it
I'm onto you

I seen a lot of good liars in my day but I never seen nothin like this, no
I met a lot of real players in my life,
congratulations you made it on the list
You broke down the castle I built up around me
Hidin from the world but still somehow you found me
Now I see what it is
You're an illusionist
Can't believe that I fell for it

I never thought you would be so ungrateful
You fooled me into believing
You're like the greatest magician that I've ever seen
Had me lookin the other way
Well now I'm blinded by everything
You don't even know what to say
Well

I'mma tell the whole world how you did it
The world how you did it, whole world how you did it
I'm onto you
Tell the whole world how you did it
The world how you did it, whole world how you did it
I'm onto you

Should've been followin my first instinct I would've
stayed so far away from you
But you decieved me, had me believin that every lie you told was the truth
I didn't see then, it was all smoke and mirrors
Boy you had me fooled, I was in the crowd cheerin'
Now I see what it is
You're an illusionist
Can't believe that I fell for it

I never thought you would be so ungrateful
You fooled me into believing
You're like the greatest magician that I've ever seen
Had me lookin the other way
Well now I'm blinded by everything
You don't even know what to say
Well

I'mma tell the whole world how you did it
The world how you did it, whole world how you did it
I'm onto you
Tell the whole world how you did it
The world how you did it, whole world how you did it
I'm onto you

Now that the cat's out the bag
You can stop with the act
I don't buy into that, no
I've seen this show before
And I know how it is
There's no need to pretend
He might have had everyone else
But you're not gettin me
I'm not that naive, no
Now I'm in the clear
I don't need to be here
So I redisappear

I never thought you would be so ungrateful
You fooled me into believing
You're like the greatest magician that I've ever seen
Had me lookin the other way
Well now I'm blinded by everything
You don't even know what to say
Well
You're like the greatest magician that I've ever seen
Had me lookin the other way
Well now I'm blinded by everything
You don't even know what to say
Well

I'mma tell the whole world how you did it
The world how you did it, whole world how you did it
I'm onto you
Tell the whole world how you did it




The world how you did it, whole world how you did it
I'm onto you
