[hook]
I can't shake this habit
Of falling for the bad ones
So I keep to myself
All I need is in myself
I gotta find a way to let it out
I'm getting mine, nobody can stop me now
But you keep entering my mind
Leaving no fingerprints behind
'cos you're a smooth criminal
Ooh, a smooth criminal
[verse]
You tainted my brain with
Your name when you came in
To my heart and my home
I gave you like my own
You made me believe that
What we had was something
Until it was clear that
You ain't about nothing
But I can't
[hook]
I can't shake this habit
Of falling for the bad ones
So I keep to myself
All I need is in myself
I gotta find a way to let it out
I'm getting mine, nobody can stop me now
But you keep entering my mind
Leaving no fingerprints behind
'cos you're a smooth criminal
Ooh, a smooth criminal
[bridge]
Yeah, you keep on
Entering my mind
Leaving no fingerprints behind
'cos you're a
Smooth
Criminal
Ooh, a smooth criminal
Smooth criminal
Smooth criminal
