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 in word and 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 Turn 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, 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
