Oh I went bad for a pretty girl
I robbed and I cheated you see
Yes I went bad for a pretty pretty girl
Now she's got the loot and they got me
I met her in downtown Milwaukee
Making beer for a big company
And I knew right away that there would come a day
That she'd bring trouble to me
Oh we talked and we talked about romance
But she didn't want love for love alone
She had dreams of living in a mansion
So I set out to put her on her throne
Yes I went bad for a pretty girl...
Oh I bought myself a pistol at a pawn shop
But bullets I never bought me none
Cause I knew if there ever came a showdown
I wouldn't have the nerve to shoot that gun
Oh I quit my job a working in Milwaukee
Held up a bank and got away without a clue
And I gave my pretty girl all the money
Caused I promised to make her dreams come true
Oh I went bad for a pretty girl...
Oh I bought my pretty girl her mansion
Pretty diamonds to wear upon her hand
But she left me like someday I knew she'd leave me
For more power and a much much richer man
So I went back to the streets of old Milwaukee
To pull another job and win her back again
But the police were waiting in Milwaukee
For my pretty pretty girl had turned me in
Oh I went bad for a pretty girl...
