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 want to 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’ve got to cleanse myself of all these lies 'til 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 |
