The folk-style flute melody of this song will grasp your attention at once. You can hardly guess, until you hear the first words, that it is performed by American singer Britney Spears. It is so different from the other tracks on Femme Fatale, her 7th studio album! It is less agressive and considered to be the only ballad in the album. After Spears heard the song for the first time, she felt it was unlike any other track she had ever heard. The Criminal lyrics are about a girl who is in love with an outlaw and who is telling her mother about the relationship pleading to accept the fact. The Criminal music video is based on some facts from Britney Spears’s personal life and even features her boyfriend Jason Trawick. The video is not available yet, but we have displayed the Criminal audio. What do you think about it?

[Verse 1:]
He is a hustler
He’s no good at all
He is a loser, he’s a bum, bum, bum, bum
He lies, he bluffs
He’s unreliable.
He is a sucker with a gun, gun, gun, gun
I know you told me
I should stay away.
I know you said
He’s just a dog astray.
He is a bad boy with a tainted heart
And even I know this ain’t smart
[Chorus:]
But mama I’m in love with a criminal
And this type of love
Isn’t rational, it’s physical
Mama please don’t cry
I will be alright
All reasons aside
I just can’t deny
Love that guy
[Verse 2:]
He is a villain by the devil’s law
He is a killer just for fun, fun, fun, fun
That man’s a snitch and unpredictable,
He’s got no conscious
He got none, none, none, none
All I know, should let go, but no
‘Cause he’s a bad boy with a tainted heart
And even I know this ain’t smart
[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
And he’s got my name
Tattooed on his arm
His lucky charm,
So I guess it’s okay
He’s with me
And I hear people talk
Trying to make remarks
Keep us apart
But I don’t even hear
I don’t care
[Chorus]
