The knew the moment their eyes came together
They'd never need to explain
He was a bandit behind his behavior
She was precisely the same
Laughing and dancing those gay cabralleros
They looked so wild and so free
She likes him a little light on the loafers
But bless his heart, so does he .

Chorus:
And he covers for her and she covers for him
If it's wild and they want to they will
But the dangers are real and the chances are slim
And there ain't nothing cheap but the thrill
In the badlands of Beverly Hills.

He had a mustache that made him look macho
And she wore a mole on her cheek
Making the run around Rodeo Avenue
Dancing boutique to boutique
And the truth is a question with too many answers
And so hard to face on your own
Beauty is only as deep as the skin
Ugly goes clear to the bone.

Chorus:
And he covers for her and she covers for him
If it's wild and they want to they will
But the dangers are real and the chances are slim
And there ain't nothing cheap but the thrill
In the badlands of Beverly Hills.
