Fiona Apple - Criminal
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
Well, i 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
★ 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've sinned against
Because he's all i ever knew of love
★ verse 2 ★
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 gotta cleanse myself of all these lies 'til i'm good enough for him
I got a lot to lose, and i'm bettin' high, so i'm beggin' you
Before it ends, just tell me where to begin, hey
★ 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've sinned against
Because he's all i ever knew of love
★ instrumental break ★
★ bridge ★
Let me know the way, before there's hell to pay
Gimme room to lay the law and let me go
I gotta make a play to make my lover stay
So what would an angel say? 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've sinned against
Because he's all i ever knew of love, hey
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…

Biography
Apple signed to Sony Music and released her debut album, Tidal at age 19. The lead single “Criminal” earned Apple a Grammy and a place in the Top Ten, partially due to its controversial music video.
Apple followed up in 1999 with When The Pawn…, whose full title is a 90-word poem inspired by negative feedback on her debut. Extraordinary Machine followed years after, though it experienced some delays.
The Idler Wheel… arrived after a seven-year period of tension and mystery. Its title, reminiscent of When the Pawn…, is a shortened version of a longer poem.
Eight years after The Idler Wheel…, Apple returned to the music scene with Fetch The Bolt Cutters, which was met with enthusiastic critical acclaim. The album’s title is from a quote from Gillian Anderson’s The Fall.
