Am Em
He is a hustler, he’s no good at all
Am Em
He lies, he bluffs, he’s unreliable
Am Em
I know you told me I should stay away
D Am
I know you said he’s just a dog astray-ay
Am Em
He is a bad boy with a tainted heart
D Am
And even I know this ain’t smart
Am Em
But, mama, I’m in love with a criminal
D Am
And this type of love isn’t rational, it’s physical
Am Em
Mamma, please don’t cry, I will be all right
D Am
All reason aside, I just can’t deny I love that guy

Am Em D Am )
Am Em
He is a villain by the devil’s law
Am Em
That man’s a snitch, he’s unpredictable
Am Em
Oh-oh I kno-ow
D Am
Should’ve let go, but no
Am Em
’Cause he’s a bad boy with a tainted heart
D Am
And even I know this ain’t smart
Am Em
But, mama, I’m in love with a criminal
D Am
And this type of love isn’t rational, it’s physical
Am Em
Mamma, please don’t cry, I will be all right
D Am
All reason aside, I just can’t deny I love that guy
F Am
And he’s got my name
G Am
Tatooed on his arm , his lucky charm
F Am
So I guess its okay
G
He’s with me
F Am
And we hear people talk (people talk)
G Am
Trying to make remarks, keep us apart
F Am
But I don’t even hear
G
I don’t care
