[Intro]
\nBaa, baa
\n(Black sheep)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nMark,
\nHow are you doing today?
\nSay,
\nWould you like to play?<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nBaa, baa
\n(Black sheep)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAre you in too deep
\n(An elaborate game)
\nAre the gains for keeps
\n(Or is mark your name)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nMark,
\nBefore you’re on your way…
\nIt’s not even dark
\nOne more play?<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nBaa, baa
\n(Black sheep)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAre you in too deep
\n(An elaborate game)
\nAre the gains for keeps
\n(Or is mark your name)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nBaa, baa (Black sheep)
\nHave you any fool?
\n(Yes, sir, yes, sir)
\nFree is full<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nAre you in too deep
\n(An elaborate game)
\nAre the gains for keeps
\n(Or is mark your name)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nBaa, baa (black sheep)
\nReleased of you money
\n(Fleeced of humility)
\nBaa, baa (Black sheep)
\nBe careful (with whom you sleep)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nThe Sting refers to the final, critical moment of an elaborate con game where the mark is fleeced of their money.<\/p>\n
