It's a Sin

JJ72

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
everyplace i've ever been
everywhere i'm going to
it's a sin

at school they taught me how to be
so pure of 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
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
cos i didn't care
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
everyplace i've ever been
everywhere i'm going to
it's a sin
it's a sin
it's a sin
everything i've ever done
everything i ever do
everyplace i've ever been
everywhere i'm going to
it's a sin
