It's a Sin

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
