And the tennis court was covered up
With some tent-like thing
And you asked me to dance
But I said: Dancing is a dangerous game
Oh, I thought
This is gonna be one of those things
Now I know
I’m never gonna love again
I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve
Takes one to know one
You’re a cowboy like me
Never wanted love, just a fancy car
Now I’m waiting by the phone
Like I’m sitting in an airport bar
You had some tricks up your sleeve
Takes one to know one
You’re a cowboy like me
Perched in the dark
Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
Like it could be love
I could be the way forward
Only if they pay for it
You’re a bandit like me
Eyes full of stars
Hustling for the good life
Never thought I’d meet you here
It could be love
We could be the way forward
And I know I’ll pay for it
You’re a cowboy like me
Perched in the dark
Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
Like it could be love
I could be the way forward
Only if they pay for it
You’re a bandit like me
Eyes full of stars
Hustling for the good life
Never thought I’d meet you here
It could be love
We could be the way forward
And I know I’ll pay for it
And the skeletons in both our closets
Plotted hard to fuck this up
And the old men that I’ve swindled
Really did believe I was the one
And the ladies lunching have their stories about
When you passed through town
But that was all before I locked it down
Now you hang from my lips
Like the Gardens of Babylon
With your boots beneath my bed
Forever is the sweetest con
I’ve had some tricks up my sleeve
Takes one to know one
You’re a cowboy like me
And I’m never gonna love again
I’m never gonna love again
I’m never gonna love again
