[Verse 1]
Can I have a quick word in your ear?
Just do as I say and you'll have nothing to fear
No, you wouldn't be my first scapegoat
And don't bet if I will or I won't
I know you thought that maybe I cared but I don't

[Chorus]
I'm a sinner

[Verse 2]
Anyone see the paper today?
I destroyed that man and I just walked away, yeah
Up here, Heaven is higher
But down there, I'm in charge of the fire
Did you think that you could lie to a liar?

[Chorus]
I'm a sinner
I'm a sinner

[Bridge]
Don't make me want to come to you
He's got lots of tales to tell
I'm gonna make you big big news
Oh, man, the stories he could sell
Am I really gonna light the fuse?
Oh god
Is he gonna drop a bombshell? A bombshell
Trick is, you can never tell
Yeah, I'll let you burn in Hell
[Chorus]
I'm a sinner
I'm a sinner

[Outro]
Forgive me
