I saw him for the very first time
In the shadow of the night
His eyes locked straight on me
And his smile held the secrets of the streets
He didn’t ask permission
He never knocked on my door
He just broke into my soul
Like a silent thief

His touch was fire and danger
A forbidden game I knew I’d never win
He spoke so little
But every word was an invitation to the abyss
That I just couldn’t refuse
His eyes said: Don’t you trust me
But my body screamed
Give in to this temptation
I knew exactly who he was
A criminal, a heartbreaker
And still
I wanted to be his next victim

He’s the kind of man
Who can chain you
Tear you apart inside
But you can’t escape
You keep on running back for more
(Back for more)
It’s wrong, I know, but I can’t deny
I became the accomplice of this dangerous love

I'm in love with a criminal
(Criminal)
A thief who stole my heart tonight
We’re just strangers
(Strangers)
But my body can’t resist, it calls for you
(For you)

I'm in love with a criminal
Even knowing this won’t last forever
(Still I need it)
In this dangerous passion
That burns my soul but won’t let me go
(I'm a prisoner in this crime of love)

He’s like danger in the night
He’s the master of sin
A king with no crown
But the world at his feet
I try to resist, but his scent
His touch, and his stare
Pull me back into
His invisible chains

They always warned me
He’s an expert in breaking hearts
Collecting lovers
The way a thief collects crimes
But when he kisses me, nothing else matters
I'm just a hostage to this insane fire
He whispers lies in my ear
He speaks of love like he means every word
And still I surrender
I fall, I beg for more
As if my only crime was loving this criminal

He’s the kind of man
Who can chain you
Tear you apart inside
But you can’t escape
You keep on running back for more
(Back for more)
It’s wrong, I know, but I can’t deny
I became the accomplice of this dangerous love

I'm in love with a criminal
(Criminal)
A thief who stole my heart tonight
We’re just strangers
(Strangers)
But my body can’t resist, it calls for you
(For you)

I'm in love with a criminal
Even knowing this won’t last forever
(Still I need it)
In this dangerous passion
That burns my soul but won’t let me go
(I'm a prisoner in this crime of love)

In the midnight silence
I wake up alone
And I wonder if he was ever really here
Or just a fever, delirium, desire
Where I'm the accomplice of my own destruction
But when the phone rings, and I hear his voice
I forget the fear, forget the world
And I run back into the arms
Of the criminal who stole my heart

He’s the kind of man
Who can chain you
Tear you apart inside
But you can’t escape
You keep on running back for more
(Back for more)
It’s wrong, I know, but I can’t deny
I became the accomplice of this dangerous love

I'm in love with a criminal
(Criminal)
A thief who stole my heart tonight
We’re just strangers
(Strangers)
But my body can’t resist, it calls for you
(For you)

I'm in love with a criminal
Even knowing this won’t last forever
(Still I need it)
In this dangerous passion
That burns my soul but won’t let me go
(I'm a prisoner in this crime of love)

If love is a crime
I’ve already paid the price
And every time you come
I return to the cell
(Every time you appear)
Even chained to this endless desire
I don’t want freedom
‘Cause I'm in love with a criminal

I'm in love with a criminal
(Criminal)
A thief who stole my heart tonight
We’re just strangers
(Strangers)
But my body can’t resist, it calls for you
(For you)

I'm in love with a criminal
Even knowing this won’t last forever
(Still I need it)
In this dangerous passion
That burns my soul but won’t let me go
(I'm a prisoner in this crime of love)

(Aahhh, mm)
Criminal, crimi-nal
(Yeah, yeah)
(Aahhh, mmm)
Criminal, crimi-nal
