I've been trailing Zayn Malik ever since he left One Direction, from his solo debut single 'Pillowtalk' through his debut album and the new singles from his upcoming sophomore effort, not just the music shaa; his breakup with P. Edwards and relationship with Gigi Hadid 🙈
So far most of his new singles haven't been able to replicate the success of his debut but that doesn't mean they are of a lower quality.
I think he has finally found and is now in his own. Seduction and ectasy ever present in his rich falsetto, a far cry from his One Direction days, his music videos a lot different now too.
I knew about Entertainer the week the track was released but somehow forgot about it because I was still helplessly hooked onto Let Me. Just yesterday I stumbled on the video on YouTube and all it took was seconds for me to realize what I've been missing.
LYRICS
You thought you had me, didn't you?
When you lied to my face, I could see the truth
With every step with the way I knew
How you fooled me, boo
Guess you didn’t know that you were my favorite entertainer
I watch you, and laugh and fuck with you
Don't you take me for a fool
In this game, I own the rules
You were my favorite entertainer
I watch you, I laugh and we fake it too
Don't you take me for a fool
I’ma show you a thing or two
Never seen you comin', I'll turn you down
When you need me the most, I will turn you
When you need me the most, I will turn you down
Never seen me comin', I'll turn you down
When you need me the most, I will turn you
When you need me the most, I will turn you down
Thought that you were smarter
I'm ashamed for you
I knew it right away when you stopped lovin' me
It happened when your touch wasn't enough for me
Thought that you should know that
You were my favorite entertainer
I watch you, and laugh and fuck with you
Don’t you play me for a fool
In this game, I own the rules
You were my favorite entertainer
I watch you, I laugh and we fake it too
Don’t you take me for a fool
I'ma show you a thing or two
Never seen you comin’, I'll turn you down
When you need me the most, I will turn you
When you need me the most, I will turn you down
Never seen me comin', I'll turn you down
When you need me the most, I will turn you
When you need me the most, I will turn you down
Know it’s harder to take, and let's face it
No one's playing your games, let's face it
I'm bein' straight up
I know a fake love when I see it anyway
I'ma turn you down when you need me anyway, anyway, anyway
Never seen you comin', I'll turn you down
When you need me the most, I will turn you
When you need me the most, I will turn you down
Never seen me comin', I'll turn you down
When you need me the most, I will turn you
When you need me the most, I will turn you down
I know you need me the most
The most, the most
One more time
