A5 D5 B5 D5
I kissed you cause I've never been an angel
A5 D5 B5 D5
I learned to say hosannas on my knees
A5 D5
But they threw me out of Sunday school when I was nine
A5 E5 A5
And the sisters said I did just as I pleased
Even so I try to be a good girl
It's only what I want that makes me weak
I had no desire to be a child of sin
Then you went and pressed your whiskers to my cheek

Why can't I go and live the life rightly?
A5 D5 B5 D5
Why can't I go back home to apple pie?
A5 D5
Cause your affront to my virtue was a touch too much
A5 E5 A5
But you left a little twinkle in my eye
A5
Fa la la la
G5

Now some will come confessing of transgressions
A5 D5 B5 D5
Some will come confessing of their love
A5 D5
You were there strumming on your gay guitar
A5 E5 A5
You were trying to tell me something with your thumb
A5
