i've been a bad, bad girl
i've been careless with a delicate man
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
right or wrong, i wanna 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 feeling 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 living this day like the next will never come, oh
help me but don't tell me to deny it
i've gotta 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
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
