It’s a Sin

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin It's a sin Everything I've ever done Everything I'll ever do Every place I've ever been Everywhere I'm going to It's a sin [Verse 2] At school, they taught me how to be So pure in thought and word and deed They didn't quite succeed (oh, no) For everything I long to do No matter where or when or who Has one thing in common, too [Chorus] It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin It's a sin Everything I've ever done Everything I'll ever do Every place I've ever been Everywhere I'm going to It's a sin [Bridge] 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 [Verse 1 Reprise] 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 where or when or who Has one thing in common too [Chorus] It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin It's a sin Everything I've ever done Everything I'll ever do Every place I've ever been Everywhere I'm going to It's a sin [Outro] It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin It's a sin It's a sin It's a sin, oh, yeah It's a sin, sin, sin...
