“Party Tricks” is a song about desire and unrequited feelings within a situationship, or a relationship that has not been defined with commitment. Äyanna is openly vulnerable with her listeners in this debut single.
[Verse 1]
How do you do that thing where you tell me
That you will be calling
But I end up dropped in the line
And how do that thing where you tell me
That you will be coming
But I end up out for what?
Drunk on love
I understand that it is magic
No one knows me
Makes my fret disappear like you
(thinking it's voodoo, baby)
And when I ask you to show me the trick
You tell me that you can't reveal secrets
I regret being here
I don't want to lose my pride
[Chorus]
But I'll ask you one more time
Tell me, baby
If I left the party would you look for me
Would you wonder where I went
Tell me, baby
If I left the party would you look for me
Or would you just keep on
Dancing to your own beat
[Verse 2]
Beaten
I've been beaten
Been defeated by you
So no more weekends
No more weakness
And no more weakness
Have me remember that
I had you
We had time
I just wanted to be your type
In too deep
I was blind
You already made up your mind
You weren't real
I was torn
I knew then I had to move on
I can't be in your world
I'm a planet all on my own
I don't want to ask you twice
[Chorus]
But I'll ask you one more time
Tell me, baby
If i left the party would you look for me
Would you wonder where I went
Tell me, baby
If I left the party would you look for me
Or would you just keep on
Dancing to your own beat
[Verse 3]
Take it
You never thought that I would take it back
But it's mine and I'm gonna take it back
Dignity and all of that
How many times have I heard this track
You don't see when I turn my back
You don't see when I text you back
Deleting when I say
I gave you all I could and more than I should have
Hoping that you would need me
To your surprise
Much to my demise
You had taken more than you need me
And myself and I
We will be just fine
I can bounce back
Believe me
I will let it rain
Then be on my way
'Cause I know
[Outro]
If I left the party you wouldn't notice
It's sad but i know this
If I left the party you would just sing along to your favorite song
