(ii)
When I look back upon my life
It s always with a sense of shame
I ve always been the one to blame
(ii)
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
(ii)
It s a sin
Everything I ve ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I ve ever been
(higher)
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
(i)
Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
(i)
Whatever you taught me, I didn t believe it
Father, you fought me, cause I didn t care
(?) (i)
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 - 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
