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
