it's a sin
Singer: paul anka
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
