[Verse 1]
You put a halo and wings around me
Now you say that I have gone bad
But while you were busy with business and booze
I lost the wings and the halo I had

[Chorus]
You say I went from a saint to a sinner
But you can't blame me for it all
You were the teacher, I was just a beginner
You don't know how it hurt me to fall

[Verse 2]
You didn't think that your angel could wander
But I'm just like you, flesh and bone
While you had your drinkin', your buddies, and business
I guess I had too much time all alone

[Chorus]
You say I went from a saint to a sinner
But you can't blame me for it all
You were the teacher, I was just a beginner
You don't know how it hurt me to fall
