Chorus: Boy, what you do to me is criminal / Baby, when I look in those eyes / I feel like goin’ through stop lights / Lookin’ at the cops like I got nothin’ to lose / Yeah boy, you got me burnin’ like a match stick / Take me to the edge and one step past it / It ain’t right, it ain’t typical / Oh, what you do to me is criminal. I, have the right to remain silent / But there ain’t no way that I can / ’Cause I’m wired like a tickin’ time bomb / It’s so wrong, but it feels right / Tonight you repeatin’ like an echo / Baby, I can’t let go, got me goin’ klepto like a thief / Yeah I’d steal, just to keep on feelin’ what I feel. Oh, oh, don’t try to save me / Oh, oh, you never gonna save me.
