How many times have i heard the same old line

How many times have i fallen for that lie

Spare me the soft soaping...

It's a sucker punch and it's packed behind a smile

Deal me a hand and we'll double up the stakes

Called yer bluff but made just one mistake

The dice were loaded and the cards were marked

The game was fixed right from the start

It's a sucker punch and that's what we call the breaks.



The large print giveth, the small print cuts yer throat

One hand's shakin' while the other's slippin' in your coat

Hoodwinked and shanghaied, coldcocked on the dotted line

It's a sucker punch and it's comin' from behind

Spare me the soft-soaping...
