He's a heat in the night 

A dust in the wind 

He stacks the deck right 

So he's sure to win 

He's just an illusion 

A master of confusion 

One of those losers 

That always wins 



Chorus: 

Don't lay down beside him 

'Cause when you reach to find him 

He'll be gone 

The song he was singin' 

He's a hell-raisin' angel 

And a heaven-sent devil 

He cannot be trusted with love 



He's a song you can't forget 

Once you sing it 

Like the money you bet 

You'll probably regret it 

He's an answered prayer 

A childish dare 

And a fool-hearty outlaw 

Who's just passing through 



Repeat Chorus 



Keeps his hat on his head 

His hand on his heart 

His boots by the bed 

While he studies his heart 

His truth is deceivin' 

Stays for the leavin' 

He's a bandit of love 

A collector of hearts 



Repeat Chorus 



He cannot be trusted with love 

No he cannot be trusted with love 

He cannot be trusted with love
