| When I look back upon my life, it's always with a sense of shame.
|
| I've always been the one to blame.
|
| For everything I long to do, no matter when or where or who,
|
| Has one thing in common, too
|
| It's a, It's a, It's a, It's a sin, It's a sin.
|
| Everything I've ever done, everything I ever do,
|
| Every place I've ever been, everywhere I'm going to, It's a sin!!
|
| At school they taught me how to be so pure in thought & word & deed,
|
| They didn't quite succeed!
|
| For everything I long to do, no matter when or where or who,
|
| Has one thing in common, too
|
| It's a, It's a, It's a, It's a sin, It's a sin.
|
| Everything I've ever done, everything I ever do,
|
| Every place I've ever been, everywhere I'm going to, It's a sin!!
|
| Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it!
|
| Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it.
|
| Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it.
|
| Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
|
| And I still don't understand!!
|
| So I look back upon my life, forever with a sense of shame.
|
| I've always been the one to blame!
|
| For everything I long to do, no matter when or where or who,
|
| Has one thing in common, too
|
| It's a, It's a, It's a, It's a sin, It's a sin..
|
| Everything I've ever done, everything I ever do,
|
| Every place I've ever been, everywhere I'm going to, It's a sin!! |
