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 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
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
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
