Criminal by Fiona Apple

I've been a bad, bad girl
I've (1)________ careless with a (2)________________ 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 (5)________ 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 (6)__________ I can begin

What I need is a (7)________ defense
Cause I'm (8)______________ 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 (9)________ me for the way I am
Save me from (10)__________ evil deeds
Before I get them done
I (11)________ tomorrow brings the consequence at hand
But I keep living this day
Like the (12)________ (13)________ never come
Oh help me, but don't (14)________ me to deny it
I gotta (15)______________ myself of all these lies
Till I'm good enough for him
I got a lot to lose
And I'm betting high
So I'm begging you
Before it ends, just (16)________ me where to begin
What I need is a good defense
Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I (17)________ to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever (18)________ 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 gotta make a play
To (19)________ my lover stay
So (20)________ would an (21)__________ say?
The devil wants to know
What I need is a (22)________ defense
Cause I'm (23)______________ like a criminal
And I (24)________ to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever (25)________ of love
