I've been a bad, bad girl, I've been carless with a delicate man, and it's a sad, sad world, When a girl will break a girl 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 'cos I need guidance to be true, and I just don't where I can begin, Ooooh What I need is a good defence, 'cos I'm feeling liek 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 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
