| 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 |
