It's a sin

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

(Still don't understand) yeah

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 (I've ever done)

Everything I ever do (I ever do)

Every place I've ever been

Everywhere I'm going to

It's a sin

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

(Oh yeah) 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
