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 don't 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

Oooh what I need

is a good defence

'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

Hey hey what I need

is a good defence

'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 defence

'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

Ooh ooh what I need

is a good defence

'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.....
