Lyrics
Well I’ve done some things, Lord knows that I regret And I’ve yet to make, a made a mends of them yet And I’ve been caught in places, I should never have been And I’ve seen some things, I never want to see again I once hurt a man, someone I barely knew And I have lied to many, but to save a few I may have held a heart, of a woman just to help her through Knowing all along, I was helping myself too Chorus If you’ve never sinned, in spite of being warned How the heck, can you expect, the right to be reborn It’s hard to forget, things you’d rather not recall But if you haven’t sinned, you haven’t lived at all We all do little things, in a spurt of craziness But I don’t need to be reminded, every time that I transgress What goes around will come around, maybe for her a little less Some of us, have got to fall, a little harder I guess I’m gonna wipe my slate clean, on the other side of town And if trouble tries to find me, I may have to stand my ground But if a woman thinks enough, to want to lay me down I promise I’ll be better man, next time around Ya, I promise I’ll be better man, next time around
