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"
