I've been runnin' since the day I was born

I'm the definition of the one

Shed a tear for each soul set free

But that's what happens when you dance with me

Pity the man that stands in my way

I'm a nightmare, even in the day

I'd be wise with which words you say

'cause they could be the last breath you take

Go ahead, baby-doll me.

Well I ain't nobody's baby

Baby, I'm an outlaw

Call me a criminal maybe

Baby, I'm an outlaw

You know I ain't evil but I ain't a saint

Can't help it, I was born this way

Oh baby, outlaw

Ooh baby, I'm an outlaw

(Woo!)

I was cornered in the desert by a man

He took the pistol right from my hand

As he put it to my temple, I asked

"Do you think it's gonna be that simple?"

"See, I got a bullet for a tooth and

I'm gonna use it to shoot you"

Even though you got a gun to my head

You'll be the one that ends up dead

Go ahead, baby-doll me.

Well I ain't nobody's baby

Baby, I'm an outlaw

Call me a criminal maybe

Baby, I'm an outlaw

You know I ain't evil but I ain't a saint

Can't help it, I was born this way

Oh baby, outlaw

Ooh baby, I'm an outlaw

(Oh!)

(Woo!)

And I looked him right between his eyes

He was terrified

I thought I told you not to baby-doll me.

Well I ain't nobody's baby

Baby, I'm an outlaw

Call me a criminal maybe

Baby, I'm an outlaw

You know I ain't evil but I ain't a saint

Can't help it, I was born this way

Oh baby, outlaw

Little baby outlaw

(Oh!)
