It's a sin (when you love somebody)

Now the Lord, he'll forgive you for cheating

And the Lord, he'll forgive you if you lie

Yes, he'll forgive and he'll help you to live

But he sure frowns down soundly on you and I.

It must be a sin when you love somebody

Damned if you don't

twice damned if you do

It must be a sin when you love somebody

As much as I'm lovin' you.

Now the Lord, he's known, and for his kindness

He's always willing to set a sinner free

He'll save your soul and he'll make you whole

But I don't see no angels comin' down

Shinin' their light on you and me.

It must be a sin when you love somebody

Damned if you don't

twice damned if you do

It must be a sin when you love somebody

As much as I'm lovin' you...
