Professional Liar

You must be the gambling type
You played your hand just right
You should be a cowboy
The you way you roped me in
Musicians should envy the way
You played me like a violin
I was cut so deep
You could be a surgeon 
You acted your role so well
You belong on Broadway
As far as I can tell
You had me spinning 
round and round
Like a prima ballerina
Until I hit the ground
You sold me a dream
A nightmare is what you gave me
Freddy Krueger is what 
You seem to be
You lie and lie, like a 
Professional

I love the way you described all the professions and brought it all together in the last line. Great work!
