Criminal

I've been a bad, bad girl
 I've been careless with a delicate man
 And it's a sad, sad world
 When a girl will break a boy just because she can
 Don't you tell me to deny it
 I've done wrong, and I wanna suffer for my sins
 I've come to you 'cause I need guidance to be true
 And I just don't know where I can begin
 What I need is a good defense
 'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
 And I need to be redeemed to the one I've sinned against
 Because he's all I ever knew of love
 ♪
 Heaven help me for the way I am
 Save me from these evil deeds before I get them done
 I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand
 But I keep livin' this day like the next will never come
 Oh, help me, but don't tell me to deny it
 I gotta cleanse myself of all these lies 'til I'm good enough for him
 I got a lot to lose, and I'm bettin' high, so I'm beggin' you
 Before it ends, just tell me where to begin, hey
 What I need is a good defense
 'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
 And I need to be redeemed to the one I've sinned against
 Because he's all I ever knew of love
 ♪
 Let me know the way before there's hell to pay
 Give me room to lay the law and let me go
 I've got to make a play to make my lover stay
 So what would an angel say? The devil wants to know
 What I need is a good defense
 'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
 And I need to be redeemed to the one I've sinned against
 Because he's all I ever knew of love
 What I need is a good defense
 'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
 And I need to be redeemed to the one I've sinned against
 Because he's all I ever knew of love
