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 is 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 villian 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

All I know
Should let go
But no, cause

He is a bad boy with a tainted heart
and even I know this ain't smart

And he's got my name tattooed on his arm, his lucky charm
So I guess it's okay, he's with me
And hear people talk try to make remarks, keep us apart
I don't even hear, I don't care

Cause mama I'm in love with a criminal
and this type of love is rational, it's physical
Mama please don't cry, I will be alright
All reason aside, I just can't deny, love the guy
