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 where I can begin
Ooooh
What I need is a good defence
'Cause I'm feeling 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 living this day like the next will never come.
Oooh help me but don't tell me to deny it
I've gotta cleanse myself of all these lies 'till I'm good enough for him.
I've got a lot to lose and I'm bettin' high
So I'm beggin' you, before it ends.

Just tell me where to 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.

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.
