|
I tried hard to mend my wicked ways |
|
Acted like a lunatic for years |
|
Lord knows I try to be good, I'd keep my promises if only I could |
|
You count your blessings that I can't rely on you |
|
And I tried and I tried |
|
And I tried and I tried |
|
Clutch your pictures of the Pope |
|
Pray to God for love and hope |
|
Bring the Virgin home for luck |
|
Bolt the door down, keep it shut |
|
I've done things I never thought I'd do |
|
Sure it helps to lose myself in you |
|
A little time and I'll be all right, c'mon sugar, let's go out tonight |
|
Forgive your trespasses and all that we've been through |
|
I tried and I tried |
|
And I tried and I tried |
|
And I tried and I tried |
|
And I tried and I tried |
|
Clutch your pictures of the Pope |
|
Pray to God for love and hope |
|
Bring the Virgin home for luck |
|
Bolt the door down, keep it shut |
|
That sinking feeling |
|
When you are leaving |
|
All I believe in |
|
Walks out my door |
|
I tried hard to mend my wicked ways |
|
The damage's done, there's nothing left to save |
|
And I tried |
|
And I tried and I tried |
|
And I tried and I tried |
|
And I tried and I tried |
|
Clutch your pictures of the Pope |
|
(Just like I told you) |
|
Pray to God for love and hope |
|
(Just like I warned you) |
|
Bring the Virgin home for luck |
|
(Just like I told you) |
|
Bolt the door down, keep it shut |
|
(Just like I warned you) |
