Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
[PreChorus]
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
[PreChorus]
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
[PreChorus]
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
