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 dont know

where i can begin

ohhhh ohhhh ohhh

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 ne t will never come

ohhhhhhh

help me but don't tell me to deny it

i've got to 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

ive got to make a play

to make my love 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 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
