Lyrics

Criminals

I don't need you
You don't need me
To figure out
To figure out
Oh, where you wanna be?

Did I know you once?
Did I know you well?
Did I know you?
Did I show you a way to think again?

Tell me, do you need a partner? Oh
'Cause the criminals are here, yeah
Tell me, do you need a partner? Oh-oh
'Cause the criminals are near

Near, near, nea-

You don't need me
And I don't need you
You don't see
You don't see
Anything at all

And I don't know what
To believe in you
But if you go
If you go
Don't come back at all

Tell me, do you need a partner? Oh
'Cause the criminals are near, yeah
Tell me, do you need a partner? Yeah
'Cause the criminals are near

You can be anyone now
You can be anything elsewhere
You know it's really gone
You know it's really gone wrong

You can be anyone now
You can be anything elsewhere
You know it's really gone
You know it's really gone wrong

You can be anyone now
You can be anything elsewhere
You know it's really gone
You know it's really gone wrong

You can be anyone now
You can be anything elsewhere
You know it's really gone
You know it's really gone wrong

Tell me, do you need a partner? Oh
'Cause the criminals are near, yeah
Tell me, do you need a partner? Oh-oh
'Cause the criminals are near
