Snake Charmer

Through the looking-glass above the bar
You hotwired my brain like a stolen car
And all it took was a smile
I guess my pride must've made me blind
Otherwise I would've noticed all the signs
You could see 'em for miles

I may dress like the bourgeoisie, yeah
But I won't be your retirement plan
I shoulda known how it was going to be, yeah
You'll get away with whatever you can, but

I didn't know what I was getting into when I was getting into you
I didn't know that I would have to pay for the privilege of being used
Well, I guess that no one ever taught you
happiness cannot be bought
But if you play too hard to get,
You might not get got

You snake charmer

You convinced me to buy you a drink
Then it became about a dozen more,
I think you've got the box, but I'm the tool
And now my wallet's lost some weight
I'm getting out before it gets to be too late
Mama raised no fool

You try to leave the bar tab to me, yeah
But I would have to take out a loan
Your martini's full, but you're empty, yeah
Shallow to the bone

I didn't know what I was getting into when I was getting into you
I didn't know that I would have to pay for the privilege of being used
Well, I guess that no one ever taught you
happiness cannot be bought
But if you play too hard to get,
You might not get got

I didn't know what I was getting into when I was getting into you
Well, I guess I've got a little bit of wising up I've gotta do
I understand that no one ever taught you happiness cannot be bought
But if you play too hard to get,
You might not get got

You snake charmer

Snake charmer
Cock teaser
Gold digger
Deciever
