Lyrics
Mr Magpie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He'll learn your face by heart
But you'll be in black and white in his eyes
Playing your part to memorize the lines
In the flick of a feather he flies to your side
I saw it coming, he won't change his ways
Oh, Mr. Magpie is in it for the thrill of the chase
I saw it coming, should've raised the alarm
Girl, are you gonna be another victim of his charm?
Boy, you're making waves, in the same old way
Times are changing, you're still playing the same old game
Boy, you're making waves, in the same old way
Times are changing, you're still playing the same old game
Recognize the way that he moves
It's the very same lines that took ahold of you
Could you dismiss and deny while his eye's on the prize?
Why would you give it up? Why cut a deal with his desire?
I saw it coming, he won't change his ways
Oh, Mr. Magpie was in it for the thrill of the chase
I saw it coming, should've raised the alarm
Girl, are you gonna be another victim of his charm?
Boy, you're making waves, in the same old way
Times are changing, you're still playing the same old game
Boy, you're making waves, in the same old way
Times are changing, you're still playing the same old game
The same old game
Woah, woah, oo-oo-oo-oooh
In the same old way, yeah
Woah-oooh
(Boy, you're making)
(Boy, you're making)
(Boy, you're making waves)
(You're still playing)
(You're still playing the same old games)
Why would you give it up?
Why would you give it up?
Why would you give it up?
Why would you give it all away?
Why would you give it up, now?
Why would you give it up, girl?
Why would you give it up?
Why would you give it all away, now?
Oh, you're making waves, in the same old way
(Why would you give it up? Why would you give it up?)
Times are changing, you're still playing the same old games
(Why would you give it up? Why would you give it all away?)
Oh, you're making waves, in the same old way
((Why would you give it up, now? Why would you give it up, girl?)
Times are changing, you're still playing the same old game
(Why would you give it up? Why would you give it all away?)
