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 mess 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 Mm, mm, oh, oh I'm never gonna love again

Upon my word what does it mean? Is it love or is it me That makes me change so suddenly From looking out to feeling free? I sit here lying in my bed Wondering what it was I said That made me think I lost my head When I knew I lost my heart instead So won't you please read my signs Be a gypsy Tell me what I hope to find deep within me And because you can find my mind Please be with me Of all the better things I've heard Loving you has made the words And all the rest seem so absurd 'Cause in the end it all comes out I'm sure So won't you please read my signs Be a gypsy Tell me what I hope to find deep within me And because you can find my mind Please be with me
