I kissed you c

            
ause I've neve

          
r been an ange

        
l
           
I learned to s

            
ay hosannas on

            
 my knees
           
But they threw

            
 me out of Sun

              
day school whe

   
n I was nine
            
And the sister

             
s said I did j

         
ust as I pleas

ed

       

         
Even so I try 

         
to be a good g

        
irl
           
It's only what

            
 I want that m

             
akes me weak
         
I had no desir

          
e to be a chil

     
d of sin
            
Then you went 

              
and pressed yo

             
ur whiskers to

    
 my cheek


Fa la ly ly

Sweet heaven w

Now I tried dr

            
inking rye and

      
 gamblin'
          
Dancing with d

             
amnation is a 

      
ball
           
But of all the

            
 little ways I

Why can't I go

            
 and live the 

               
life of Riley?
           
Why can't I go

            
 back home to 

           
apple pie?
           
Cause your aff
