I'm Not Hypnotized
Freedy Johnston · Other Songs - Freedy Johnston
I know you're only having fun
You want me to stare into your eyes
Whatever, you're the only one
OK, but I'm not hypnotized
Colored Lights shine through the blinds
You enfold your hand in mine
Give your trance a couple tries
You don't know I'm getting wise
You've got me swinging on a chain
Back and forth between my eyes
Whatever, I'll do anything
OK, but I'm not hypnotized
If you make me disappear
Who will whisper in your ear
Crystal ball and all the gear
I know what you want to hear
I know you're only having fun
You want me to stare into your eyes
Whatever, you're the only one
OK, but I'm not hypnotized
You should wear that all the time
That's some magic I don't mind
Hearts and moons and other signs
Read my fortune every night
You've got me swinging on a chain
Back and forth between my eyes
Whatever, I'll do anything
OK, but I'm not hypnotized
