            I've been a bad, bad girl
            I've been careless with a delicate man
            And its a sad, sad world
            When a girl will break a boy just because she can

                  C2               Bb2               F7
                     Don't you tell me to deny it
                                C2                              Bb2               A2
                     I done wrong and I want to suffer for my sins
                  C2                   Bb2                       Ab7                  G7
                     I've come to you cause I need guidance to be true
                                      F7                                      Ab7
                     And I just don't know where I can begin

                              F7                       C2
                              What I need is a good defense
                                                F7                        C2
                              Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
                                        F7                                          C2                       Bb2
                              And I need to be redeemed to the one I've sinned against
                                                    Ab7  G7                 F7
                              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 'til 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
                                                                                            C2 (x4)

                                       Let me know the way  before there's hell to pay
                                     Eb2          B2                     Ab7
                                       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...
