Who did you think you were?

Who did you think you were fooling?

You've been seeing too many movies

Where the bad guys were the heroes

Everything started fine

And it looked like the seeds were sown

'Till you took up an evil stance

And you came on just like Al Capone

I had to leave or I'd have gone insane

Now, I hear they say you've changed

But old gangsters never die

Old gangsters never die

Don't you ever wonder why

You had me when I was green

It made me feel so dependent

It satisfied your paranoia

To think I really needed you

Who did you think I was?

Did you think that I'd let it ride?

Put down that violin case

I know just what you're trying to hide

I've got to leave you chill me to the marrow

There's just no way you're on the straight and narrow

Because old gangsters never die

Old gangsters never die

Don't you ever wonder why

And when I finally climbed down off your shelf

You blamed everyone except yourself

Old gangsters never die

Old gangsters never die

They just fade into the night

Oh, bye-bye
