Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He'll take the money and the food that's in your hand
But you have to understand that he's a dreamer
Living my life within a mile you could believe
This place turns honest men to thieves
[Verse 2]
And I could see it in his eyes
He was the type to sail off in the night
[Verse 3]
I met him through a dancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
A tropical chancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
[Verse 4]
I met him through a dancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
A tropical chancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
[Verse 5]
He'll trade your lovin' for the things he's never seen
The places he has never been
Oh, but remember he is just a good pretender
And he doesn't give his love away for free
[Verse 6]
Oh
And I could see it in his eyes
He was the type to sail off in the night
[Verse 7]
I met him through a dancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
A tropical chancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
[Verse 8]
I met him through a dancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
A tropical chancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
[Verse 9]
I met him through a dancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
A tropical chancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
[Verse 10]
I met him through a dancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
A tropical chancer
Didn't know he was a tropical chancer
