Robin Hood Lyrics - Jamie T

Ah-ah 

Ah-ah 

Riding in the back seat 

Rolling through the neighborhood 

Brought up in the back streets 

Wouldn't change if he could 

It's bad in the factory 

Or the shopping mall where you work 

Johnny doesn't actually 

Had to load the gun to make him work 

And all the boys tell Johnny 

They wanna be dealers and thugs 

But Johnny knows that it ain't no good 

When the teacher asked him 

"Who would you be if you could?" 

"I wanna be like Robin Hood 

Robin Hood" 

Riding from the alley 

To the Halifax where she works 

Gotta love Sally 

She didn't flinch when he burst 

In through the doorway 

With a sawn-off under his shirt 

She knew in the worst way 

That he was the man for her 

And all the boys tell Johnny 

They wanna be rappers and thugs 

But Johnny knows that it ain't no good 

When the teacher asked him 

"Who would you be if you could?" 

Said "I'd be like Robin Hood" 

And I'll steal from the rich 

I'll give to the poor 

I'll stop the police from 

Knocking down the door 

I steal it all 

Then I'll steal more 

And I'll never end up 

Behind the Jail Guitar Doors 

And to this day 

As an actual fact 

In the best way 

They've still got each other's backs 

15 years 

2 heart attacks 

2 children 

Sally's mother always asks her 

"What is it about Johnny 

What is it about Johnny that makes you bother?" 

She says 

"There's a few things that are true 

In this life of wonder 

Everybody hates the law 

And everyone loves a bank 

Robber, robber, robber 

Robber, robber, robber!" 

Loves a bank robber, robber, robber 

Robber, robber!" 

Loves a bank robber, robber, robber 

Robber, robber!" 

Loves a bank robber, robber, robber 

Robber, robber!" 

Loves a bank robber, robber, robber 

Robber, robber!" 

Loves a bank robber, robber, robber 

Robber, robber!" 

Loves a bank robber, robber, robber 

Robber, robber!" 

Loves a bank robber, robber, robber 

Robber, robber!" 

Loves a bank robber 

And all the boys tell Johnny 

They wanna be rappers and thugs 

But Johnny knows that it ain't no good 

When the teacher asked him 

"Who would you be if you could?" 

Said "I'd be like Robin Hood" 

Robin Hood
