The Pussycat Dolls Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pick a card any card that's what he told me
I took it to rodeo and it worked like magic for me
Spa massage a lap of the lux
His' and her's flying spurs automatical rush

I'm charming, don't charm I'm on a chain
Don't hate me hate the game
I can wave my hand and like that
Now we all alone

Just like that your mine
Like magic magic magic
With just one blink of an eye
Like magic magic magic
I know I caught you by surprise
Like magic magic magic
Won't be the same outfit tonight
Like magic magic magic
Like magic
Na na na na na-na

Now you see, now you don't
I got this trick to show ya
Disappear when he act upon ya
For you know I'll be alright up on ya
Juicy coutures and night at the bars
Turning back -
Valet lift up the door

I'm charming, don't charm I'm on a chain
Don't hate me hate the game
I can wave my hand and like that
Now we all alone

Just like that your mine
Like magic magic magic
With just one blink of an eye
Like magic magic magic
I know I caught you by surprise
Like magic magic magic
Won't be the same outfit tonight
Like magic magic magic
Like magic
Na na na na na-na
Na na na na na-na

Abracadabra I got to have ya
He don't realize what were doin'
Ain't no science by illusions in the club
Abracadabra I got to have ya
Spread your eyes wear attention blow your mind
When I get you out the club
You're at my hand tonight
Make him my man tonight

I'm charming, don't charm I'm on a chain
Don't hate me hate the game
I can wave my hand and like that
Now we all alone

Just like that your mine
Like magic magic magic
With just one blink of an eye
Like magic magic magic
I know I caught you by surprise
Like magic magic magic
Won't be the same outfit tonight
Like magic magic magic

Just like that your mine
Like magic magic magic
With just one blink of an eye
Like magic magic magic
I know I caught you by surprise
Like magic magic magic
Won't be the same outfit tonight
Like magic magic magic
Like magic

Na na na na na-na
Na na na na na-na

Line by Line Meaning

Pick a card any card that's what he told me
He suggested a card trick to me

I took it to rodeo and it worked like magic for me
I used the trick at a place called Rodeo and it was successful

Spa massage a lap of the lux
I enjoyed a luxurious spa massage

His' and her's flying spurs automatical rush
I was given a fast ride in his and her flying cars

I'm charming, don't charm I'm on a chain
I am charming, but I have limits

Don't hate me hate the game
Don't be upset with me, be upset with the situation

I can wave my hand and like that
I have the ability to easily change the situation

Now we all alone
We are now in a private setting

Just like that your mine
Suddenly, I have captured your attention

Like magic magic magic
It happened quickly and effortlessly

With just one blink of an eye
In a very short amount of time

I know I caught you by surprise
I have taken you off guard

Won't be the same outfit tonight
I will be wearing something different tonight

Now you see, now you don't
I have a trick to show you that involves disappearing and reappearing

I got this trick to show ya
I am going to show you my trick

Disappear when he act upon ya
I can easily hide from him when he comes around

For you know I'll be alright up on ya
You can trust me to handle the situation

Juicy coutures and night at the bars
I enjoy going out at night in fashionable clothes

Turning back - Valet lift up the door
I have a driver who opens the car door for me

Abracadabra I got to have ya
I want you and will use my charm to get you

He don't realize what were doin'
He is unaware of our plan

Ain't no science by illusions in the club
In the club, we rely on illusions rather than science

Spread your eyes wear attention blow your mind
I want to amaze you with my actions

When I get you out the club
Once we leave the club

You're at my hand tonight
I will have control over the situation later tonight

Make him my man tonight
I will make him mine tonight

Na na na na na-na
Repeating vocalization
