stealers wheel - good businessman lyrics
(rafferty/egan)
got to get back to the telephone,
make some money from a complete unknown.
i know everything that i’ve got to say,
i know ’cause i’m a good businessman.
i can make you rich, i can make you a name,
promise you the world if you’ll play my game.
if you don’t want to play it, don’t bother me.
that’s why i’m a good businessman.
a good businessman, a good businessman,
a good businessman, a good businessman.
if i find that you ain’t got no trust in me,
then it’s time to use my psychology.
i can change your mind, i can turn you around,
i know ’cause i’m a good businessman.
let me tell you now, i don’t need your respect,
seems to me there’s one thing that you forget:
i ain’t in this business to be friends with you,
that’s why i’m a good businessman.
a good businessman, a good businessman,
a good businessman, a good businessman.
(instrumental break)

i know everything that i’ve got to say,
i know ’cause i’m a good businessman.
i can make you rich, i can make you a name,
promise you the world if you’ll play my game.
if you don’t want to play it, don’t bother me.
that’s why i’m a good businessman.
a good businessman, a good businessman,
a good businessman, a good businessman.
