confidence man

Lyrics

well, i lost you at the border when you crossed it, had your number, baby, but i lost it, i know your love was just a flimflam, no, you can't pull the wool over me, 'cause i'm a confidence man, i can talk old ladies out of all of their money, i can talk young girls into calling me honey, you can talk all you want, babe, but i got fast hands, uh-huh, you're a real soft touch, but i'm a confidence man, i know your mother taught you how to bake a cherry pie, and read a book, your daddy taught you how to tell a lie, and not get shook, let me tell you something, baby, you better learn, if you're gonna con the con man, you're liable to get burned, now, now, now, we were stretched out on the floor, baby, it's all elastic, but you stretched it too tight and it snapped like plastic, and the pieces went flying across the badlands, no discouraging word could be heard, 'cause i'm a confidence man, now, maybe chicago is where you're bound, but love is a cheap perfume, it hangs around, and you roll the dice, now let the bet stand, no, you can't pull the wool over me, 'cause i'm a confidence man, no, you can't pull the wool over me, 'cause i'm a confidence man, said, you can't pull the wool over me, 'cause i'm a confidence man
