I think this song means different things, not just the literal meaning of "being in love with a criminal." I think it's about how in life, we usually don't always make the correct decisions, and we are stubborn to go on the route we feel is right, even if it isn't. Even if our parents, authorities, and other types of social institutions tell us that OUR way isn't the best, that we are making a mistake, we want to do it our way and follow our gut! Like in this song, sometimes we even know our way is definitely wrong, "And even I know this ain't smart" but we gotta take our risks and do what we feel is right for us at that moment. In this song, Britney says she's in love with a criminal, not what any parent would like their children to be involved with. But at the end of the day, like Britney says, "I will be alright" because even if we are not, we gotta move on and learn from our mistakes. AMAZING song! Love everything about it!
