Ive been a bad bad girl,
Ive been careless with a delicate man
And its a sad sad world,
When a girl can break a boy
Just because she can

Dont you tell me to deny it,
Ive done wrong and I want to
Suffer for my sins
Ive come to you cause I need
Guidance to be true
And I just dont know where I can begin

What I need is a good defense,
cause Im feelin like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I sinned against
Because he was 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 dont tell me
To deny it
Ive got to cleanse myself
Of all these lies till Im
Good enough for him
Ive got a lot to lose and Im
Bettin high,
So Im beggin you before it ends
Just tell me where to begin

What I need is a good defense,
cause Im feelin like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I sinned against
Because he was all I ever knew of love

Let me know the way
Before theres hell to pay,
Give me room to lay the law and let me go

Ive 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 Im feelin like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I sinned against
Because he was all I ever knew of love

Ironic how this is the only song I've come across in karaoke books that I actually know all the words to. It describes my life so perfectly right now.
