Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and I wanna suffer for my sins
I've come to you 'cuz I need
guidance to be true
And I just don't know where I can begin
Oooohh...
Chorus:
What I need is a good defense
'Cuz I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I 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
Ehhyy...
Chorus
Lemme 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 plan
to make my lover stay
So, what would an angel say?,
the devil wants to know
Chorus x2
