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
