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
Well, 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, baby,
but I got fast hands
I know your mother
Taught you how to bake a pie,
and read a book
Your daddy
Taught you how to tell a lie,
and not get shook
Let me tell you somethin`, 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.
Well, you can`t pull the wool over me,
`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
Well, you can`t pull the wool over me,
`cause I`m a confidence man
Well, you can`t pull the wool over me,
`cause I`m a confidence man.
Well, you can`t pull the wool over me,
`cause I`m a confidence man.
