None of This Is Minimal

Verse 1

Mama said, "Be careful where you go,"

I just smiled and whispered, "I know."

He walks with trouble in his eyes,

But somehow sees through my disguise.

Everybody says to let him go,

But feelings don't work that way, you know.

Pre-Chorus

Red lights flash, hearts collide,

I can't run, I can't hide.

Chorus

Ah ah ah...

Mama...

Ah ah ah...

Mama...

Oh oh oh...

Mama, I'm in love with a criminal,

Even though it's kinda ille-e-gal.

But I don't, don't really care though,

'Cause Mama, you should know.

I know none of this is minimal,

But I'm still in love with a criminal.

Ah ah ah...

Verse 2

Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind,

Maybe I'm chasing a state of mind.

I know the road is rough ahead,

Still hear your warning in my head.

I'm not saying wrong is right,

I'm just telling you how I feel tonight.

Bridge

Maybe one day he'll change his ways,

Maybe not—but time will say.

Until then I'm caught between

The life I know and the life I've dreamed.

Final Chorus

Ah ah ah...

Mama...

Ah ah ah...

Mama...

Oh oh oh...

Mama, I'm in love with a criminal,

Even though it's kinda ille-e-gal.

But I don't, don't really care though,

'Cause Mama, you should know.

I know none of this is minimal,

But I'm still in love with a criminal.

Ah ah ah...

Mama...
