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
Ooh-ooh, 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 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...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 love
Let me know
The way before
There's hell to pay
Give me room
To lay the law
And let me go
I 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 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 love
Hey... 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 love...
