[verse 1]
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 astray
he is a rebel with a tainted heart
and even i know this ain't smart
[chorus]
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, i love that guy
[verse 2]
he is a villain 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 conscious, he got none, none, none, none
oh-oh, all i know
should let go, but no
'cause he's a rebel with a tainted heart
and even i know this ain't smart
[chorus]
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, i love that guy
[bridge]
and he's got my name
tatooed on his arm
his lucky charm
so i guess it's okay
he's with me
and i hear people talk
trying to make remarks
keep us apart
but i don't even hear
i don't care
[chorus x2]
'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
