I'm on the run so come and catch me if you can
I bet you didn't know that I'm a wanted man
I won't be very long, hope you miss me while I'm gone,
I love you
They're out to get me so I gotta lay low
No time to stick around I gotta be a ghost
I'll call from every town and let you know that I'm around
Whether I'm north, down south, east or out west
I'm never without you, baby you're the best
I love you, I need you, and honey I want you to know
My heart is true and my word sincere
Even if right now I can't be near
Sorry to keep this all so minimal
See you soon sincerely,
Your criminal
Some people seem to think that I'm the bad guy
The root of every problem in their family lives
But secretly they fear what they're seeing in the mirror
It's so clear
'Cause all the others they can barely wait
They're marking my arrival by the calendar date
They wanna have fun so we rock and then I run
To the next state
Whether I'm north, down south, east or out west
I'm never without you, baby you're the best
I love you, I need you, and honey I want you to know
My heart is true and my word sincere
Even if right now I can't be near
Sorry to keep this all so minimal
Don't you worry now I'll be home soon
Always thinking of you,
Your criminal
I'm just a criminal
Call me a criminal
I'm just a criminal
A what!
I'm on the run so come and catch me if you can
I bet you didn't know that I'm a wanted man
I won't be very long, hope you miss me while I'm gone,
I love you
They're out to get me so I gotta lay low
No time to stick around I gotta be a ghost
I'll call from every town and let you know that I'm around
Whether I'm north, down south, east or out west
I'm never without you, baby you're the best
I love you, I need you, and honey I want you to know
My heart is true and my word sincere
Even if right now I can't be near
Sorry to keep this all so minimal
See you soon sincerely,
Your criminal
Some people seem to think that I'm the bad guy
The root of every problem in their family lives
But secretly they fear what they're seeing in the mirror
It's so clear
'Cause all the others they can barely wait
They're marking my arrival by the calendar date
They wanna have fun so we rock and then I run
To the next state
Whether I'm north, down south, east or out west
I'm never without you, baby you're the best
I love you, I need you, and honey I want you to know
My heart is true and my word sincere
Even if right now I can't be near
Sorry to keep this all so minimal
Don't you worry now I'll be home soon
Always thinking of you,
Your criminal
I'm just a criminal
Call me a criminal
I'm just a criminal
A what!
