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)

Uh-oh, I know
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 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

'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 the 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,
Love the guy
