"Knew I was a robber first time that he saw me Stealing hearts and running off and never saying sorry" she brought her hand up to her face, placing her extended pointer finger on her cheek with a precocious look on her face. "But if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist And we'll move to an island, and" she whipped her hair around, making her way to one side of the stage, effectively interacting with the audience. "And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor Every lover known in comparison is a failure I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now Never be the same now, now" she flashed a mockingly innocent look, tossing her head to the side.
She leaned against a pillar at the edge of the stage, running her free hand along her body as she moved up and down the pillar, "I-I-I see how this is gon' go Touch me and you'll never be alone I-Island breeze and lights down low No one has to know (No one has to know)" She pushed herself off of the pillar and began working her way to the other side of the stage after the last line.
"In the middle of the night, in my dreams You should see the things we do, baby, mmm In the middle of the night in my dreams I know I'm gonna be with you So I take my time" she stopped dead in front of the judges' table and deadpanned about-face, looking down at them as if she was looking into their souls. "Are you ready for it? Ooh, are you ready for it?" she performed like she was practicing for a music video and soaked in all of the reaction, unsure of how long it would last. "Baby, let the games begin Let the games begin Let the games begin Baby, let the games begin Let the games begin Let the games begin" She took a few steps back as she continued singing, thrashing with each line, throwing everything she had into it as she made her way back to the mic stand.
"I-I-I see how this is gon' go Touch me and you'll never be alone I-Island breeze and lights down low No one has to know" she pressed her body up against the slim pole of the stand, sliding up and down the length in time with the beat.
"In the middle of the night, in my dreams (my dreams) You should see the things we do, baby, mmm" she got down on her hands and knees, crawling toward the edge of the stage without missing a single note. "In the middle of the night, in my dreams (my dreams) I know I'm gonna be with you So I take my time In the middle of the night" after the last note escaped her lips, she jumped up as if the music had never slowed down and got back into things for the final stretch of the song, going as hard as she could.
"Baby, let the games begin Let the games begin Let the games begin Are you ready for it? Baby, let the games begin Let the games begin Let the games begin Are you ready for it?" She gave a wink as the song ended, catching her breath with a small laugh as she composed herself and waited for the judges' comments.
