Bm                       D
You never told me of your other faces,
F#m                        A
you were the widow of the wildcat.
Bm                       D
And now I know about your special kisses,
F#m                         A
and I know you know where that is at.
Bm                      D
I guess I recognize your destination,
F#m                         A
I think I see beneath your make-up.
Bm                   D
What you want is some seperation,
F#m                 G
this is no ordinary;  this is no ordinary.

Chorus:
Bm                D       F#m
Oh oh oh what a criminal world,
     A                        Bm
the boys are like baby faced girls.
          D      F#m
What a criminal girl,
         A                         Bm
She`ll show you how to shoot your gun (gun gun)
        D                F#m
What a typical mother`s son;
    A                     Bm          D       F#m
the only thing that she enjoys is a criminal world
           A                         Bm
where the girls are like baby faced boys.

You've got a very heavy reputation
But no-one knows about your low-life
I know a way to find a situation
And hold a candle to your high-life disguise
You caught me kneeling at your sister's door
That was no ordinary stick-up
I'm well aware just what you're looking for
I am no ordinary, I am no ordinary
