They left the room for a minute or two

Now I know what I'm gonna do

Left the cash right in my sight

Guess this boy's gonna make out tonight

Sometimes I'm with a girl, who thinks I'm fine

Thinks I'm good, gonna treat her right

Says "Honey, gonna make myself good"

Say goodbye to your diamonds and rings

I'd take the kitchen sink if I could



Crime pays

Every night every day

Crime pays

Anytime anyway



I'll be walkin' around town

Scopin' some new cars

Don't think you're save

No matter who you are

Mercedes and Jags, always on my mind

Sometimes you can't be choosey

Gotta take what you can find



Crime pays

Every night every day

Crime pays

Anytime anyway

Crime pays

Every night every day

Crime pays

Anytime anyway



It's in my blood, it's in my veins

It's gonna put me in jail

At least I'll be out of the rain

Just can't resist this habit of mine

Can't resist it, stealin', wheelin' and dealin'

I can't get enough, can't get enough

It's in my blood, it's in my veins

It's in my mind this way of take and take

Don't turn your back, you're wrong if you think I'm your friend

You'll lose it all, I'll take it all if I can



Crime pays

Every night every day

Crime pays

Anytime anyway

Crime pays

Every night every day

Crime pays

Anytime anyway
