Jeff Healey Band Confidence Man Lyrics

Confidence Man Lyrics

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



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.



Well, you can't pull the wool over me,

'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

Well, you can't pull the wool over
me,

'cause I'm a confidence man.

Well, you can't pull the wool over
me,

'cause I'm a confidence man
