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 rebel with a tainted heart
And even I know this ain´t smart

[Refrain]
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, I love that guy

He is a villain of 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 conscious, he got none, none, none, none

Oh-oh, all I know
Should let go, but no

´cause he´s a rebel with a tainted heart
And even I know this ain´t smart

[Refrain]

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

[Refrain] (x2)
