Donât touch me! get away from me!
Homeboy, you better stop it, keep up youâre gonna get it
Your mouth is gettinâ sassy, donât make me have to hit it
Cuz when I heard about you my teeth just gritted
You told me that you didnât, but I knew you were with it
Chorus
Bet you got a chick on the side
Sure you got a chick
I know you got a chick on the side
(love bandit, love bandit)
(repeat)
Donât worry, boy, cuz I wonât complain, no need to explain
I seen everything through the window pane
You and your other lover, thatâs really insane
And another thing: please take off my gold ring
I got another finger I can put it on
You blew the deal so now Iâm all gone
I was prepared for just in case you messed around
On the side you could be replaced
But you could have found a better way of lettinâ me down
Instead of running around with every girl in town
I heard you on the phone the other day
Donât you say itâs an old friend all the way from l.a.
I finally caught onto your little game
Your lying and denying is a cryinâ shame
You took me for granted, this is the end, dammit
Youâre playing the field like youâre some (love bandit)
Chorus
Oooo my, oooo my so-called fiancee listen to what I say
Whatever game you play I play the same way
So if you wanna go mess around and cheat
And you wanna romance between another girlâs sheets
Go ahead sweetheart, I expected that
Cuz youâre nothing but a cheap, little, stuck-up brat
Wherever youâre at you want this and that
You dirty rat, Iâm not a welcome mat
I got another lover, and I know he cares
So smile child, but keep your crocodile tears
Go ahead, go, go boy! Iâm going steady
In loving arms this teddy is ready
He fixed the table for his and hers
And while the dinner simmers he served the horsâdoevres
Then munch-out time, hit the wine, get mellow
Cleared off the table and his hello-jello
I canât express the feeling that I get
So I just lay back and light up a cigarette
And try to be cool, collected, and calm
He tells me my fortune and reads my palm
With a suave taste I cannot embrace
In a feeling of desire by the fireplace
Love bandit, Iâm makinâ it clear
See ya later, gator, Iâm gettinâ outta here, yeah
Chorus
Youâre at the window starinâ at the sky
Birds fly by, you start to wonder why
Youâre not by my side sharing the dream
That one day youâll be my king, and Iâll be your queen
I call you every day, ask to get into your home
I tell you Iâm alone, but you hang up the phone
Youâre like a hot flame getting ready to burn
You say youâre concerned, baby, you donât earn
