[Verse 1]
Am F
I've been a bad bad girl,
Am F
I've been careless with a delicate man.
Am F
And it's a sad sad world,
Am
When a girl can break a boy
F
Just because she can.
[Pre-Chorus]
C A# F
Don't you tell me to deny it,
C
I've done wrong and I want to
A# Am
Suffer for my sins.
C A#
I've come to you cause I need
G# G
Guidance to be true
F G#
And I just don't know where I can begin.
[Chorus]
F Cm
What I need is a good defense
F Cm
cause I'm feelin' like a criminal.
F
And I need to be redeemed
Cm A#
To the one I sinned against
G# G F
Because he was all I ever knew of love.
[Verse 2]
Am F
Heaven help me for the way I am.
Am F
Save me from these evil deeds.
Am F
Before I get them done.
Am F
I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand.
Am F
But I keep livin' this day like
Am F
The next will never come.
[Pre-Chorus]
C A# F
Oh, help me, but don't tell me to deny it.
C
I've got to cleanse myself.
A# Am
Of all these lies till I'm good enough for him.
C A# G#
I've got a lot to lose and I'm bettin' high
G
So I'm beggin' you before it ends
F G#
Just tell me where to begin.
[Chorus]
F Cm
What I need is a good defense
F Cm
cause I'm feelin' like a criminal.

[Bridge]
D# B
Let me know the way
G# B
Before there's hell to pay.
D# B G#
Give me room to lay the law and let me go.
D# B
I've got to make a play
G# B
To make my lover stay.
D# B
So, what would an angel say?
G#
cause the devil wants to know.
[Chorus]

What I need is a good defense

cause I'm 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.

What I need is a good defense

cause I'm feelin' like a criminal.

And I need to be redeemed

To the one I sinned against

Because he was all I ever knew of loooooooooooove. Love
