He is a hustler, he's no good at all
He is a loser, he's a bum-bum-bum
He lies, he bluffs, he's unreliable
He is a sucker with a gun-gun-gun

I know you told me I should stay away
I know you said he's just a dog astray
He is a bad boy with a tainted heart
And even I know this ain't smart

'Cause, 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, I love that guy

He is a villain by the devil's law
He is a killer just for fun-fun-fun
That man's a snitch, unpredictable
He's got no conscious, he got none-none-none

Oh-oh I know
Should've let go, but no
'Cause he's a bad boy with a tainted heart
And even I know this ain't smart

'Cause, 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, I love that 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 we hear people talk (people talk)
Trying to make remarks, keep us apart
But I don't even hear
I don't care (I don't care)

'Cause, 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, I love that 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 I love that guy
