Confidence Man

John Hiatt

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.

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 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.

You're ?????????????????,
'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.
