Lyrics

I can barely see your sneakers
You say I've got to keep my head down
You're painting my portrait
In a red velvet gown
How do you see me?
As demure and discreet
Well, do you know what I'll do?
Do you know what I'll do?
When I go out in the street
You're a sin
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're a sin
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The kind you won't mind
But the kind there could be trouble in
I can barely see your sneakers
You know they look pretty rough
Hell, I bet when you get loaded
You can get pretty tough
You pass me the caviar
You say, "Hey, do you want something to eat?"
Well, do you know what I'll do?
Do you know what I'll do?
When I go out in the street
You're a sin
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're a sin
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The kind you won't mind
But the kind there could be trouble in
You're a sin
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're a sin
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The kind you won't mind
But I'll tell you there's gonna be some trouble in
I can barely see your sneakers
You're dripping paint all over the place
Why not get right to the point
And splash it right on my face
How do you see me?
As silly and sweet
But do you know what I'll do?
Do you know what I'll do?
When I go out in the street
You're a sin
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're a sin
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The kind you won't mind
But the kind there could be trouble in
You're a sin
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're a sin
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The kind you won't mind
But I'll tell you there'll be some trouble in
You're a sin
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're a sin
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're a sin
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're a sin
You're a sin
