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 and 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 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 I It's a sin
