"I Just Can't Stop Conning You"
(sung to the tune of "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" by Michael Jackson)
by Erik Hartley

[Saffron]
I just want to lie to you
for awhile
You look so easy to deceive
Your eyes are so naive
Your coffers are bursting
A lot of people
no longer can stand me
That's because they don't
know me at all
I just want to kiss you
and try to
relieve you
of your cargo
I can earn so much

[Captain]
When my ship docks
in the open port
I see your face.
Without a warning
your con is forming
and you tell me your name.

It can not be real
my plans all go wrong
I'm running away
I hate you
Your con's left me dry
I cannot get by
The ship gone forever
Poor and left naked

 [Saffron]
Listen to my voice now
I've made my choice now
The credits you bring
will give me a head start
after your fall
I break hearts
and sirens ring

You don't know how I feel
This plan can't go wrong
You'll make me your wife
I'll leave you

[Captain]
I just can't go on

[Saffron]
I feel so strong

[Captain]
My life ain't worth living
since I met you

[Saffron]
I just can't stop conning you
Oh, I just can't stop conning you
And if I should stop.
then that just means I moved on
from you

'Cause I just can't stop
conning you (and you and you)

[Captain]
That night when the
engines roared
and you sped away with my
ship and my heart.

[Saffron]
When morning embraced me
and the pawn shop pays me
I'll return for more

[Captain]
Do you know how this feels
I won't stop looking
until I hear your voice saying
"I give up"

[Saffron]
"I give up"
are words I'll never be saying

[Captain]
This anger's so strong
 
[Saffron]
Well, the next mark
is waiting

If I can lie to you
I just can't stop conning you
I just can't stop conning you
and if I should stop
then that means I've moved on
from you
I just can't stop conning you
