[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
I've got some tricks up my sleeve
Takes one to know one
You're a cowboy like me

[Verse 2]
Never wanted love
Just a fancy car
Now I'm waiting by the phone
Like I'm sitting in an airport bar
[Refrain]
You had some tricks up your sleeve
Takes one to know one
You're a cowboy like me
[Chorus]
Perched in the dark
Tellin' 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

[Chorus]
You're a cowboy like me
Perched in the dark
Tellin' 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
Hustlin' 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
[Bridge]
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 lunchin' have their stories about
When you passed through town
Oh, but that was all before I locked it down

[Verse 3]
Now you hang from my lips
Like the Gardens of Babylon
With your boots beneath my bed
Forever is the sweetest con

[Refrain]
I've had some tricks up my sleeve
Takes one to know one
You're a cowboy like me

[Outro]
And I'm never gonna love again
I'm never gonna love again
I'm never gonna love again
