Lyrics
Criminal-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
1-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
(repeat 1)
Let me know the way
Before there's hell to pay
Give me room to lay the law and let me go
I gotta make a pledge
To make my love affair
So what would an angel say
The devil wants to know
(repeat 1)
