Well I lost you at the border
when you crossed it
I had your number baby
but I lost it
I know your love
is just a flim flam
Lord 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 callin' me honey
You can watch all you want
baby but I've got fast hands
Ah ah your 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 told you how to
tell a lie and not get took
Let me tell you something
you've never learned
You come across a
con-man your gonna get
burned girl ow
Now now now when your
strecthed out on the floor
baby sorta elastic
But ya stretch it too tight
and it snaps like plastic
And the pieces went flying
across the badlands
Don't be discouraged with
what could be heard
Because I'm a
confidence man
Now maybe Chicago is
where your bound
But a love isn't cheap
purfume that hangs around
You rolled the dice
now let the bet stand
But 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
