Two Crooks

you fell in love with a brash young thing

an unpredictable man

lately i've been working every night

so i guess you say i've stayed my hand

people in the street know your name

they wink at me so i do the same

something is not right but they imply

i'll know when

if i wasn't scared by now i won't be then

never seen someone so deserving

of the benefit of the doubt

believe me you're got some rumors baby

whispered voicings down and out

some say you're trouble

i can see what they mean

run for your life boy

well i say i am

never seen my interests protected so well

if i was ever scared of trouble

it wont be now

they say you're trouble

i know damn well what they mean

they wink their eyes

until they can't see anything

your crooked smile

and my crooked mind

if i ever saw two crooks

it was me and you
