She knew the moment their eyes came together

They'd never need to explain

He was a bandit behind his behavior

She was precisely the same

Laughing and dancing those gay cabralleros

They looked so wild and so free

She likes him a little light on the loafers

But bless his heart, so does he .



Chorus:

And he covers for her and she covers for him

If it's wild and they want to they will

But the dangers are real and the chances are slim

And there ain't nothing cheap but the thrill

In the badlands of Beverly Hills.



He had a mustache that made him look macho

And she wore a mole on her cheek

Making the run around Rodeo Avenue

Dancing boutique to boutique

And the truth is a question with too many answers

And so hard to face on your own

Beauty is only as deep as the skin

Ugly goes clear to the bone.



Chorus:

And he covers for her and she covers for him

If it's wild and they want to they will

But the dangers are real and the chances are slim

And there ain't nothing cheap but the thrill

In the badlands of Beverly Hills
