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 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 villain by 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 got none none none none

Oh-ooooo I know-ooooo should've 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 OK

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

'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

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

Mama please don't cry I will be alright

All reason aside

I just can't deny love the guy
