Criminal lyrics
by Fiona Apple
I've been a bad bad girlI've been careless with a delicate manAnd its a sad sad worldWhen a girl will break a boyJust because she canDon't you tell me to deny itI've done wrong and I want toSuffer for my sinsI've come to you 'cause I needGuidance to be trueAnd I just don't know where I can beginWhat I need is a good defense'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminalAnd I need to redeemedTo the one I've sinned againstBecause he's all I ever knew of loveHeaven help me for the way I amSave me from these evil deeds Before I get them doneI know tomorrow brings the consequenceAt handBut I keep livin' this day likeThe next will never comeOh help me but don't tell meTo deny itI've got to cleanse myselfOf all these lies till I'm goodEnough for himI've got a lot to lose and I'mBettin' highSo I'm beggin' you before it endsJust tell me where to beginWhat I need is a good defense'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminalAnd I need to redeemedTo the one I've sinned againstBecause he's all I ever knew of loveLet me know the wayBefore there's hell to payGive me room to lay the law and let me goI've got to make a playTo make my lover staySo what would an angel say The devil wants to knowWhat I need is a good defense'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminalAnd I need to redeemedTo the one I've sinned againstBecause he's all I ever knew of loveWhat I need is a good defense'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminalAnd I need to redeemedTo the one I've sinned againstBecause he's all I ever knew of love
