Lyrics

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
