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
  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
