Verse 1
He's a big ole man, stands about 6' 2"
People like to take notice, When he walks into the room
Better watch your back, he's a bluffing man
He holds his cards tight in his hand

Chorus
Don't trust that grin, or that pat on the back
Next thing you know, next thing you know
You'll fall in his trap

Verse 2
From New York City , to Baton Rogue
They call him mister, for all he can do
He can clear a table or make grown men cry
He'll steal your money and say goodbye

Chorus
Don't trust that grin, or that pat on the back
Next thing you know, next thing you know
You'll fall in his trap

Verse 3
There's talk around, that man’s going down
Puts up a mean fight, That don’t make it right
The killing is slow, hey don’t you know
The price is high when you sell your soul

Chorus
Don't trust that grin, or that pat on the back
Next thing you know, next thing you know
You'll fall in his trap
