As 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 to...
(it's a...)X2
It's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done,
Everything I ever do,
Everywhere I'm going to,
It's a sin!
(it's a sin) X3
It's a sin!
(it's a sin) X2
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 to...
It's a sin!
Father forgive me...
I tried not to do it...
Turn over a new leaf,
it tore right through it.
Whatever you taught me,
I didn't believe it.
Father you fought me,
'cause I'm taken, and I still don't understand...
It's a sin!
It's a sin!
It's a sin!
It's a sin...
