Confidence Man (Live)

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
