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
And I could see it in his eyes
He was the type to sail off in the night
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
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
He'll trade your loving
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
And I could see it in his eyes
He was the type to sail off in the night
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
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
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
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
