Hooks, put out your rusty hooks
in hopes of some of those dirty looks
First thing, be fashionable
Second thing, be sociable
3rd thing, be believable
and last thing,
be trustworthy
you know you gotta get up
pretty early
when you pay so much
that you have no choice
but to keep on givin'
it's a gamblin' thing
and you better learn to quit
when you ain't winnin'
cause love is con, man
one day you look up and
your love is in another hand
and all your treasure is gone
you found out love is just a con
so when your stores are empty
when your bone is marrowless
and all you want her to do is just
drop that dress
but you better know that ain't comin'
you gave so much
you had no choice
but to keep on givin'
it's a gamblin' thing
and you better learn to quit
when you ain't winnin'
because love is a conman
one day you look up and
your love is in another hand
and all your treasure is gone
you found out love is just a con
takes all you got and is gone
yeah love, it's just a con
so take what you got left and run
run, run
Oh yeah you better just run
