Lyric discussion by Guy1 

Cover art for Criminal lyrics by Britney Spears

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-ay 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 I love that 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 conscious, he got none, none, none, none Oh-all I know-oh, shoulda let go, but no Cuz 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 I love that guy

And he's got my name tattooed on his arm, his lucky charm So I guess it's ok 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

Lyric Correction

In my opinion, this song talks about girls. and how naive they realy are. she said all the bad things in the world about him and how every one knows and talks about how bad he is but just because he had her name tattooed on his arm, she loves him

this was the only sweet thing she said about him and its enough he is with her All reason aside even little thing can make a girl fill for the worst guy ever
