[Intro]
I was drowning in a raincloud
Thirty thousand feet above Bridgewater
And on stacks of petty cash and stolen jewellery
He extended his bony arms and grabbed me by my shirt
A six-hundred-mile-per-hour fastball
Headed straight for the middle of town
Their sinews are starting to rip
My face was coming off
You will reach the sun
I tried to pick up what was left of it
'Til he put his hand on my shoulder and said
"I like you better like this"
He wraps back around in the strangest of ways
[Verse 1]
He is a hustler, he's no good at all
He is a losеr, he's a bum, bum, bum, bum
He lies, hе 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]
Uh, 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
Oh-oh, I know, oh, should've let go, but no
'Cause he is 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
