"It's A Sin" lyrics

As 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

My father taught me how to be
So pure of thought... and word and deed
He 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

Everything I've ever done
Everything I'll ever do
Everyplace 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

Now as 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'll ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to

It's a sin

It's a sin
