One night of sin

Is what I'm now paying for

The things I did and saw

Would make the earth stand still

Don't call my name

It makes me feel so ashamed

I've lost my sweet helping hand

I've got myself to blame



I've always lived

A very quiet life

I ain't never did no wrong

Now I know That sinful wild life

Would cause me nothing but harm



One night of sin

Is what I'm now paying for

The things I did and saw

Would make the earth stand still

Tell me 'bout it feel

Don't call my name

It makes me feel so ashamed

I lost my sweet helping hand

I've got myself to blame



I've always lived

A very quiet life

I ain't never did no wrong

Now I know that bad and wild life

Would cause me nothing but harm



One night of sin

Is what I'm now paying for

The things I did and saw

Would make the earth stand still

Oh yeah
