Tropical Chancer Lyrics
[Verse 1: Elly Jackson]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Elly Jackson]
And I could see it in his eyes
He was the type to sail off in the night
[Chorus: Elly Jackson]
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
[Verse 2: Elly Jackson]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Elly Jackson]
And I could see it in his eyes
He was the type to sail off in the night
[Chorus: Elly Jackson]
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
