Temptation rips my flesh Wages of a sin is death I say the lust of the heart burns my eye I got one more excuse - just a little white lie Waiting for the moment to sin Telling myself that I won't give in I feel the whip, but a man must change Say Lord forgive me now, I'm going to change my ways Same ol' sinner Same ol' sinner Wearing the chains I get the same ol' sinner Reaching out to the burning flame Sweet summer sweat, she's faithfully tamed Smiling pretty is her charm I got the gun in my hand, got the needle in my arm Same ol' sinner Same ol' sinner Wearing the chains I get the same ol' sinner I believe your lies, desire inside The truth I know will hurt Your devil-eyes, I can't deny I know what lust is worth The devil has a healthy appetite Chew you up and spit you out tonight Tell you it's love when it's only lust Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Same ol' sinner Same ol' sinner Wearing the chains I get the same ol' sinner I get the same ol' sinner I get the same ol' sinner Wearing the chains I get the same ol' sinner
