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 What ever 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.
