Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox feat. Ariana Savalas -
Criminal (Originally Performed By Fiona Apple)
Criminal
I've been a bad, bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
'Cause I've done wrong and I wanna suffer for my sins
I've come to you 'cause I need guidance to be true
But I don't know just where I should begin, oh yeah
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
'Cause he's all I ever knew of love, mmm-mmm
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 tomorrow's never gonna come, ohh
Help me, but don't tell me to deny it
'Cause I've got to cleanse myself of all these lies
'Til I'm good enough for him
And I've got a lot to lose
And I'm bettin' high, so I'm beggin' you
Before it ends, just let me know where to begin, oh no
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
'Cause he's all I ever knew of love, of love, oh, come on
Let me know the way
Before there is hell to pay
Make the 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
The devil wants to know
The devil wants to know
What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a bad, bad girl
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
'Cause he's all I ever knew of love
All I ever knew of love
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
'Cause I've done wrong and I wanna suffer for my sins
I've come to you 'cause I need guidance to be true
But I don't know just where I should begin, oh yeah
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
'Cause he's all I ever knew of love, mmm-mmm
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 tomorrow's never gonna come, ohh
Help me, but don't tell me to deny it
'Cause I've got to cleanse myself of all these lies
'Til I'm good enough for him
And I've got a lot to lose
And I'm bettin' high, so I'm beggin' you
Before it ends, just let me know where to begin, oh no
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
'Cause he's all I ever knew of love, of love, oh, come on
Let me know the way

The devil wants to know
The devil wants to know
The devil wants to know
What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a bad, bad girl
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
'Cause he's all I ever knew of love
All I ever knew of love
