They left the room for a minute or two
Now I know what I'm gonna do
Left the cash right in my sight
Guess this boy's gonna make out tonight
Sometimes I'm with a girl, who thinks I'm fine
Thinks I'm good, gonna treat her right
Says "Honey, gonna make myself good"
Say goodbye to your diamonds and rings
I'd take the kitchen sink if I could
Crime pays
Every night every day
Crime pays
Anytime anyway
I'll be walkin' around town
Scopin' some new cars
Don't think you're save
No matter who you are
Mercedes and Jags, always on my mind
Sometimes you can't be choosey
Gotta take what you can find
Crime pays
Every night every day
Crime pays
Anytime anyway
Crime pays
Every night every day
Crime pays
Anytime anyway
It's in my blood, it's in my veins
It's gonna put me in jail
At least I'll be out of the rain
Just can't resist this habit of mine
Can't resist it, stealin', wheelin' and dealin'
I can't get enough, can't get enough
It's in my blood, it's in my veins
It's in my mind this way of take and take
Don't turn your back, you're wrong if you think I'm your friend
You'll lose it all, I'll take it all if I can
Crime pays
Every night every day
Crime pays
Anytime anyway
Crime pays
Every night every day
Crime pays
Anytime anyway
