He is a hustler

He's no good at all

He is a loser

he's a bum

bum, bum, bum

He lies

He bluffs

He's unreliable

He is a sucker

with a gun

gun, gun, gun

I know you told me

I should stay away

I know you said

he's just a dog

a-stra-ay

He is a bad boy

with a tainted heart

And even I know

this ain't smart

But mama I'm in love

with a criminal

and this type of love

isn't rational

it's physical

Mama please don't cry

I will be alright

all reason aside

I just can't deny

love the guy

He is a villian

of the devil's law

He is a killer

just for fun

fun, fun, fun

That man's a snitch

and unpredictable

He's got no conscience

He's got none, none

none, none

A.....ll I kno...w

should let go

but no

'Cause

he is a bad boy

with a tainted heart

and even I know

this ain't smart

But mama I'm in love

with a criminal

and this type of love

isn't rational

it's physical

Mama please don't cry

I will be alright

all reason aside

I just can't deny

love the guy

And he's got my name

Tattooed on his arm

his lucky charm

So I guess it's okay

he's with me

And I hear people talk

Try to make remarks

keep us apart

But I don't even hear

I don't care

But mama I'm in love

with a criminal

and this type of love

isn't rational

it's physical

Mama please don't cry

I will be alright

all reason aside

I just can't deny

love the guy

Mama I'm in love

with a criminal

and this type of love

isn't rational

it's physical

Mama please don't cry

I will be alright

all reason aside

I just can't deny

love the guy
