it s a sin with years years

Elton John

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
Still don t understand, yeah

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 (I ve ever done)
Everything I ever do (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 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
