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