Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I try
Ay, Rail?
I try to be a righteous man
I try to give love all over the world
But I'm tired of being used
[Verse 2]
It's my turn to love and be loved
It's my turn to get out the world and let my spirit free
[Verse 3]
I try to be a righteous man
Talk to the Lord most every day
Sometimes this road can do me wrong
I keep to the path, won't go astray
[Verse 4]
When I start falling over, my feelings catch a flame
I be a man, stay a man, but you won't be the same
If you ain't gonna do me right, I might just do you in
Ain't it a sin
Ain't it a sin
[Verse 5]
I try to find a flipping sign
To keep my soul from running wild
My emotions got the best of me
I kick and scream just like a child
[Verse 6]
I start falling over, my feelings catch a flame
I be a man, stay a man, but you won't be the same
If you ain't going to do me right, I might just do you in
Ain't it a sin
Ain't it a sin
Ain't it a sin
[Verse 7]
When I start falling over, my feelings catch a flame
I be a man, stay a man, but you won't be the same
If you ain't going to do me right, I might just do you in
Ain't it a sin
Ain't it a sin
Ain't it a sin
[Verse 8]
So don't do me wrong
And I won't do you wrong
We going to do it right
Ain't it a sin
Come on, come on
Ain't it a sin
