Now the Lord, he'll forgive you for cheating
And the Lord, he'll forgive you if you lie-ie
Yes, he'll forgi-ive and he'll help you to li-ive
But he sure frowns down soundly on you and I

It must be a si-in when you love somebo-ody
Damned if you don't, twice damned if you do
It must be a si-in when you love somebody
As much as I'm lovin' you-ou-ou

Now the Lord, he's known, and for his kindness
He's always willing to set a sinner free (set a sinner free-ee)
He'll save your sou-ou-oul and he'll ma-hake you whole
But I don't see no angels comin' down
Shinin' their light on you and me

It must be a si-in when you love somebody
Damned if you don't, twice damned if you do
It must be a si-in when you lo-hove somebo-ody
As much as I'm lovi-in' you...
