Criminal - Fiona Apple
I've been a bad bad girl
I've been careless
with a delicate man
And its a sad sad world
When a girl willbreak a boy
Just because shecan
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'tknow where
I can begin
What I need is agood defense
Cause I'm feelin'like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's allI
ever knew of love

Heaven help me for the way I am
Save me from theevil 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 agood defense
Cause I'm feelin like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's
allI 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 makea play
To make my loverstay
So what would anangel say
The devil wants to know
What I need is agood defense
Cause I'm feelin like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's
allI ever knew of love
What I need is agood defense
Cause I'm feelin like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's
allI ever knew of love
