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 flim-flam
Well, you can't pull
the wool over me
'cos 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
You're a real
soft touch
but I'm a
confidence man
I know your mother
taught you how
to bake a jam 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
No discouraging word
could be heard 'cos
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
'cos I'm a
confidence man
No you can't pull
the wool over me
'cos I'm a
confidence man
Said you can't pull
the wool over me
'cos I'm a
confidence man
