It's a Sin
When I look back upon my lifeIt's always with a sense of shameI've always been the one to blameFor everything I long to doNo matter when or where or whoHas one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sinIt's a sinEverything I've ever doneEverything I ever doEvery place I've ever beenEverywhere I'm going toIt's a sin
At school they taught me how to beSo pure in thought and word and deedThey didn't quite succeedFor everything I long to doNo matter when or where or whoHas one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sinIt's a sinEverything I've ever doneEverything I ever doEvery place I've ever beenEverywhere I'm going toIt's a sin
Father, forgive me, I tried not to do itTurned over a new leaf, then tore right through itWhatever you taught me, I didn't believe itFather, you fought me, 'cause I didn't careAnd I still don't understand
So I look back upon my lifeForever with a sense of shameI've always been the one to blameFor everything I long to doNo matter when or where or whoHas one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sinIt's a sinEverything I've ever doneEverything I ever doEvery place I've ever beenEverywhere I'm going to - it's a sinIt's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sinIt's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
