I Can't Repent

I.

I want to love you in the morning,
But the morning hurts my eyes.
I want to dream with you beside me,
Underneath the cold dark skies.
I want to believe in you forever,
But all I get is lies.

Chorus

Well, my passion's spent,
And my mind is bent.
I'm a sinner, babe,
But I can't repent.
Yes, I'm a sinner, babe,
But I can't repent.

II.

I look for you in dark alleys,
I search for you by day.
You know that I go crazy,
Whenever you're away. I need you to be serious,
But you only want to play.

Chorus

Well, my passion's spent,
And my mind is bent.
I'm a sinner, babe,
But I can't repent.
Yes, I'm a sinner, babe,
But I can't repent.

III.

So come and be my teacher, babe,
And teach me how to play.
The demons that are in me, babe,
Drive them all away.
But save your lies for your Mama, babe.
Don't make your Daddy pay.

Repeat Chorus
