Criminal (From "American Horror Story") - American Horror Story Cast/Sarah Paulson
Lyrics by:Fiona Apple
Composed by: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 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
Ooh ooh ooh
What I need
Is a good defence
'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 '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
Ooh ooh ooh
What I need is a good defence
'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 defence
'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 yeah
What I need is a good defence
'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
