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

[chorus]

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

[chorus]

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

[chorus]

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
