It's a Sin Lyrics

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blameFor everything I long to do
No matter where or when or who
There's one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin, it's a sinEverything I've ever done
Everything I'll ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sinAt school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed, oh noFor everything I long to do
No matter where or when or who
There's one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin, it's a sinEverything I've ever done
Everything I'll ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to

It's a sinFather 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, noSo I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blameFor everything I long to do
No matter where or when or who
There's one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin, it's a sinEverything I've ever done
Everything I'll ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sinIt's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin, it's a sin
Oh yeah, it's a sin, it's a sinSin
