Homer Steinweiss - Sinner's Prayer lyrics

[Verse 1] I came down the mountain Draggin' our love affair Put on a pretty little number I'm wearing you still It was a hell of a scene at daddy's feast Nobody saw it coming, but the little red devil in me He has a funny way sayin' forever too fast Don't get mad, can't blame a tramp For somethin' he don't have I get on my knees and beg you [Chorus] Hear my sinner's prayer I am what I am And I don't wanna break the heart of any other man But you, but you Oh, hear my sinner's prayer It's the only one I know It sure as hell don't rhyme But it's as good as, good as, good as, good as gold [Verse 2] Got a baby sister who looks just like me She wants nothin' more than a man to please Maybe she's in too deep Her love for him ain't cheap But it breaks just like a knockoff piece From Fulton Street The man's got a gift for gettin' what he wants He's thirsty when he drinks Gets on the brink, and throws her off I get on my knees and beg you [Chorus] Hear my sinner's prayer I am what I am And I don't wanna break the heart of any other man But you, but you Oh, hear my sinner's prayer It's the only one I know It sure as hell don't rhyme But it's as good as, good as, good as, good as gold Good as, good as, good as, good as gold [Bridge] I can carry you, but not your ghosts Wish I had the faith, but I don't know, oh [Chorus] Hear my sinner's prayer I am what I am And I don't wanna break the heart of any other man But you, but you Oh, hear my sinner's prayer It's the only one I know It sure as hell don't rhyme But it's as good as, good as, good as, good as gold Good as, good as, good as, good as gold Good as, good as, good as, good as gold
