happy sinner

i'm a lucky man

cuz i don't have to live forever

i'm an also ran

in the race to get to heaven

but i've got a smile on my face

cuz there's blood in my veins

and life doesn't get any better

for this happy sinner

if love's to be the death of me

then i won't cry

and if lying with you is blasphemy

i'll pay the price

cuz my soul's at rest

with my head on your chest

it's the closest to heaven that i'll ever get

and i hope you'll give in to your happy sinner tonight

like my father said

son

the best of us are failures

so get it through your head

nobody's gonna come to save us

and though we made some mistakes

and we share the same face

can't blame him for my misbehavior

i'm just a happy sinner

and if love's to be the death of me

then i won't cry

and if lying with you is blasphemy

i'll pay the price

cuz my soul's at rest

with my head on your chest

it's the closest to heaven that i'll ever get

and i hope you'll give in to this happy sinner

i'm down on my knees

and the sword of damocles

is over my head

it's over my head

and god knows

i'm taking liberties

where angels won't tread

where angels won't tread

if love's to be the death of me

then i won't cry

and if lying with you is blasphemy

i'll pay the price

cuz my soul's at rest

with my head on your chest

it's the closest to heaven that i'll ever get

and i hope you'll give in to this happy sinner tonight

yes i hope you'll give in to this happy sinner tonight
