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 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 Your discovery to what 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 Well, 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"
