Vagabonds don't fall in love
   They just wheel and they deal
   So if I turn a funny colour when you kiss me
   I can't help the way that I feel
  
   Hooligans don't fall in love
   They just break up others lives
   So when I come to you on bended knee
   Don't forget my twenty other wives
  
   So why?
   Turn to a life of violence and crime?
   So why?
   Why do you cheat and why do you lie?
  
   Because there's always someone with a bigger car
   There's always someone with a bigger cigar
   If you've been far
   There's someone who's been further than your far
   When you make your cart, you get to the start
   There's always someone in a faster cart
   There's always someone in a faster cart
   There's always someone in a faster cart
  
   Gangsters don't fall in love
   They just roam from town to town
   So when we kiss and we hold and we whisper
   Please don't ever write it down
  
   Hooligans don't fall in love
   They just lie and they drink
   So if you say I won't say 'I will'
   Then I won't I think!
  
   So why?
   Turn to a life of violence and crime?
   So why?
   Why do you cheat and why do you lie?
  
   Because there's always someone with a bigger car
   There's always someone with a bigger cigar
   If you've been far
   There's always someone who's been further than your far
   At last you're straight and you make a new start
   There's always someone with a better heart
   There's always someone with a better heart
   There's always someone with a better heart
  
   But all in all we're not so bad
   We never take from our own kind
   Bad's quite good when it's all you've ever had
   And no bloody good sounds quite refined
