Mhmm, mmm, oh,
It's 3:00 AM, got my eyes wide shut,
I toss and turn, got the sheets untucked,
You broke right in, yeah, you stole, you took,
Left dirty fingerprints, you no-good crook,
You shattered my heart like a Tiffany glass,
I knew from the start he was a thief in a mask,
And now I'm alone, cleaning up this mess,
There ain't nothin' left,
He's just a criminal,
He's just a criminal,
I can't get back what he stole,
He's just a criminal,
Ooh, whoa, ooh, whoa, oh no,
Ooh, whoa, ooh, whoa, oh no,
Ooh, whoa, ooh, whoa, oh no,
I hear the rain on this old tin roof,
The rusty nails in the boards comin' loose,
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/z/zz-ward-lyrics/criminal-lyrics.html ]
Spend my last two dollars on you,
You robbed me blind and you left no proof,
Poof, poof, mmm, disappear,
You should be sentenced for a thousand years,
You should pay me back for a thousand tears,
Insulting,
He's just a criminal,
He's just a criminal,
I can't get back what he stole,
He's just a criminal,
Ooh, whoa, ooh, whoa, oh no,
Ooh, whoa, ooh, whoa, oh no,
Ooh, whoa, ooh, whoa, oh no,
Insulting, ooh,
Insulting, ooh,
Insulting, ooh,
Insulting, ooh,
Insulting, ooh,
Insulting, ooh,
Insulting, ooh,
Insulting.
