Apple Fiona Criminal lyrics

I`ve been a bad bad girl
I`ve been careless with a delicate man
And its 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 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
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
