Entertainer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You thought you had me, didn't you?
When you lied to my face, I could see the truth
Every step of the way I knew
How you fooled me, boo

[Pre-Chorus]
Guess you didn’t know that
You were my favorite entertainer
I'd watch you, I'd laugh, I would fuck with you
Don’t you take me for a fool
In this game, I own the rules
You were my favorite entertainer
I'd watch you, I'd laugh, I would fake it too
Don't you take me for a fool
I'ma show you a thing or two

[Chorus]
Never see me coming, 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 see me coming, 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Thought that you should know that
You were my favorite entertainer
I'd watch you, I’d laugh, I would fuck with you
Don't you play me for a fool
In this game, I own the rules
You were my favorite entertainer
I'd watch you, I'd laugh, I would fake it too
Don’t you play me for a fool
I'ma show you a thing or two

[Chorus]
Never see me coming, 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 see me coming, 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

[Bridge]
Know it's harder to take, and let's face it
No one's playing your games, but let's face it
I'm being straight up
I know fake love when I see it anyway
I'ma turn you down when you need me anyway, anyway, anyway

[Chorus]
Never see me coming, 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 see me coming, 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

[Outro]
I know you need me the most
The most, the most (One more time)

“Entertainer” is Zayn Malik’s second 2018 single following the soothy track released back in April this year, “Let Me”, whose music video currently has 122 million views as of May 28, 2019 and the Top 20 debut on UK Singles Chart.

Malik released this new single on May 23, 2018 by a worldwide premiere on Beats 1 along with a next video on his official VEVO channel with a follow-up. Some of the clips have appeared on the trailer of previous single.

The track is about ZAYN’s experiences with a lover who also happens to be an entertainer. Sofia Jamora features in both the “Entertainer” and “Let Me” music videos, acting as the girl that ZAYN refers to in the songs. However, Jamora and Malik don’t have any history. Some speculate that Jamora was casted for the videos due to her strong resemblance to Gigi Hadid, who at the time was Malik’s ex-girlfriend. As of February 2020, Hadid and Malik are back together. As “Let Me” was about Gigi Hadid, it is a safe assumption that this is the same case with “Entertainer,” as the track is the sequel to “Let Me”.
