You never thought I'd do it, you never saw it coming but it happened and they caught you in the act

I used you for a set-up I used you for a decoy and you fool: you went and fell into the trap

you took me for an ally but I knew you were an enemy you got what you deserved because I'm shrewd

you knew I was an expert in the art of pulling rip-offs but you never dreamed I'd put the heat on you

I took the cash: you took the fall

you get arrested: I had a ball

you went to jail: I stole your car

I'm having fun while you're behind the bars

You tried to tell the cops but they laugh right in your face but now they're gonna throw the book at you

tough lesson for a rookie but they caught you with the cookie and now your brief carreer as thief is through

I'm the master scammer while they threw you in the slammer I was in your car and made my getaway

I'm counting tens and twenties, yeah, I'm counting all our money and you know I'm gonna spend it all today

So if you wanna pull a heist you'd better get some good advice before you meet another creep like me

don't really think you like your cell, I think you'd rather be in hell but now I know the art of running free

I know you really hate me and I know you wanna waste me but I also know you're smarter than you look

so when they do parole you and you think you're on a roll you'd better think before I bait another hook(for you)
