"In Love With A Gangster" lyrics
(feat. Brianna Harness)
Uh, such a sweet girl, rumor has it he's a mean guy
She recognizes somethin' different behind them green eyes
Realize that she on fire, decide to lose control
Stands through the glares all that's left to a beautiful soul
Mind screamin' no, everything in her tellin' her run for it
Frozen in her tracks, her heart is held here at gunpoint
His breath on her neck, the ground shakes n' no cellin's left
She feels safe in his arms, she heard he's killed for less
His reputation bad as it is, his truth is passionate
All rationales out the window, with a grand national she fastens up
His scars tell a story of a life she's scared to death of
But his dangerous love is a fresh air
She waited her whole life to take a breath of
She been runnin' on the radio
Cocaine eyes, she's up in smoke
Daddy's little girl, can't let it go
She's in love with a gangster, ooh
With a gangster, ooh
Uh, when it tastes this sweet that's usually when it goes sour
Finds himself drifting away, losing all his power
In the final hour this is not the time for a love affair
With his gun cocked but his eyes
Locked on her n' it's hard to stay aware, uh
Devil on his heels
Police hot on his tracks
Angel leans over his shoulder, said, "I got your back"
Even though she don't know what it means
She says I'll ride for you, he said, "I'll kill for you"
Teardrop for my eye then she replied, "I'll die for you"
Anybody ever hurt her he'll fuck 'em up
His life is rough but she tough enough
Lookin' over in the passenger seat to see if she buckled up, uh
Cocaine eyes in the rearview, lovin' in the fastlane
She wants to change his ways, have a daughter with his last name
She been runnin' on the radio
Cocaine eyes, she's up in smoke
Daddy's little girl, can't let it go
She's in love with a gangster, ooh
With a gangster, ooh
Uh, daddy's little, girl she's got her mother's eyes
Fell in love with a gangster from the other side
He get his money in the trenches from a dangerous place
But when he sees her face he says that's she's his savin' grace
Cut from the same cloth as her pops so she know mom won't get it
But dad is different, he might get to trippin' actin' ignorant
She'd been sheltered but for him she'd stand out in the rain
Stories of her father's youth is proof that any man can change
She bites the bullet, takes him home
Go and meet the parents, walk inside, tensions high, tempers flarin'
He stares him in the eye, see the life he try to protect her from
He know he gotta let go, but they both draw their guns
She been runnin' on the radio
Cocaine eyes, she's up in smoke
Daddy's little girl, can't let it go
She's in love with a gangster, ooh
With a gangster, ooh
She recognizes somethin' different behind them green eyes
Realize that she on fire, decide to lose control
Stands through the glares all that's left to a beautiful soul
Mind screamin' no, everything in her tellin' her run for it
Frozen in her tracks, her heart is held here at gunpoint
His breath on her neck, the ground shakes n' no cellin's left
She feels safe in his arms, she heard he's killed for less
His reputation bad as it is, his truth is passionate
All rationales out the window, with a grand national she fastens up
His scars tell a story of a life she's scared to death of
But his dangerous love is a fresh air
She waited her whole life to take a breath of
She been runnin' on the radio
Cocaine eyes, she's up in smoke
Daddy's little girl, can't let it go
She's in love with a gangster, ooh
With a gangster, ooh
Uh, when it tastes this sweet that's usually when it goes sour
