fiona apple - criminal (itunes originals version) lyrics

[verse 1]
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
well, i done wrong, and i 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, ooh+ooh

[chorus]
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

[verse 2]
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 gotta cleanse myself of all these lies ’til i’m good enough for him
i 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
[chorus]
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

[instrumental break]

[bridge]
let me know the way, before there’s h+ll to pay
gimme room to lay the law and let me go
i gotta make a play to make my lover stay
so what would an angel say? the devil wants to know

[chorus]
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, hey
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…
