Confidence Man

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 --- Confidence Man - Jeff Healey and The Jeff Healey Band
