It's a sin Songtext
von Elton John & Years & Years

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 want 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 (I 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 (oh yeah)
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
