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 & word & 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 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
