I charmed your little heart out with my silver forked tongue Rung a peal of laughter from your brass bell lungs Wrote a tall tale on your skin with my little fingertips And then I pulled you in close, and kissed a lie upon your lips
'Cause I'm the Trickster I'm the conman of love I sing my sweet, sweet swindles like a clockwork turtle dove And you're just hte kind of sucker I surely love to see and I tricked you into loving me
Deceitfully I double-crossed your dress off to the floor And I fooled you into feeling things you ain't never felt before Such is my devotion to this fraudulent art I'd spend my whole life hustling you the hoax of my heart
'Cause I'm the trickster ANd that's all that I am See, I done hoodwinked you into making me your man All the time we've been together, can't you see? I tricked you into loving me
All them songs I wrote you were just double-talk and din And I built a home for you just to come and hate me in All the time you spent berating me was just part of my little game To think I almost tricked you into taking my name
Ah, what a Trickster what a sharp shark I must be to sting my only sweetheart into never trusting me Whe you called me a liar, you know it cut me to the bone I suppose you think I tricked you into leaving me here all alone Oh, what a Trickster
