I'm a Love Gangster Baby, I'm gonna steal your love and run
I'm a Love Gangster Mama, I'm gonna steal your love and run
But before I leave you Chile, I say we we sure gonna have good fun

You know I love all you women, you know you make me scream and shout
I said I love all you women Lord, Man you make me scream and shout
And when you do that hokey pokey Lord you shake it all about

I'm a Love Gangster Baby, I'm gonna steal your love and run
I'm a Love Gangster Pretty Mama, I'm gonna steal your love and run
But before I leave you Chile, say we we sure gonna have good fun

I can't let just one woman love me, no it will never be
I can't let just one woman love me Lord, no it will never be
I'm like a Wild Man in a cage, I'm always tryin' to get free
(Let me tell you why)

'Cause I'm a Love Gangster Baby, I'm gonna steal your love and run
I'm a Love Gangster Pretty Mama Lord, I'm gonna steal your love and run
But before I leave you Chile, say we we sure gonna have good fun

I'm a Love Gangster Baby, I'm gonna steal your love and run
I'm a Love Gangster Pretty Mama, I'm gonna steal your love and run
But before I leave you Chile, say we we sure gonna have good fun

Say now when my time has come, don't want no sad tears cried for me
Yeah, now Baby, when my time has come, I don't want you cryin' for Billy now
I want you to gather all the women so they can bid farewell to me
(That's exactly what I want you to do)

I'm a Love Gangster Darlin', I'm gonna steal your love and run
I'm a Love Gangster Pretty Baby, I'm gonna steal your love and run
But before I leave you Chile, say we we sure gonna have good fun
(Let's do that one more time, here we go )

I'm a Love Gangster Darlin', gonna steal your love... steal your love... steal your love and run Baby run, run run run
But before I leave you Child, say we we sure gonna have good fun

That's right, That's right

Long Song Description:
He also has issues, intimacy, committment and all the rest. He's not what you may think. He's not in it for sex (although that may occur occasionally), he does it for the affection. He usurps their innocense and need for someone to care... he makes them f
Story Behind the Song:
Just thinking about a guy who has a need to be nurtured, mothered, loved but then flees as if he's on fire.
