[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’s a bad boy 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, love the guy
[Verse 2] He is a villain by the devil’s law He is a killer just for fun, fun, fun, fun The man’s a snitch and unpredictable He’s got no conscience, he got none, none, none, none Oh-oh, I know, oh, should’ve let go, but no ‘Cause he’s a bad boy 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, love the guy
[Bridge] 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 (People talk) Try to make remarks, keep us apart But I don’t even hear, I don’t care
[Chorus] ‘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, love the guy (Oh, I know, oh) Mama, I’m in love with a criminal (Should’ve let go) And this type of love isn’t rational (But no) It’s physical (Oh, I know, oh) Mama, please don’t cry, I will be alright (Should’ve let go) All reason aside (But no) I just can’t deny, love the guy
