I've been a bad, bad girl
I've (1)________ careless (2)________ a delicate man
And it's a sad, sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just (3)______________ she can
Don't you (4)________ me to deny it
I've done wrong and I wanna suffer for my sins
I've (5)________ to you cause I need guidance to be true
And I just don't (6)________ where I can begin

What I (7)________ is a good defense
Cause I'm (8)______________ like a criminal
And I (9)________ to be redeemed
To the one I've (10)____________ against
Because he's all I ever (11)________ of love

Heaven help me for the way I am
Save me from (12)__________ evil deeds

But I keep (15)____________ this day

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
