Criminal lyrics - Fiona Apple



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
