And the tennis court was covered up

With some tent-like thing

And you asked me to dance

But I said, "dancin' 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.
