One night of sin, yeah Is what I'm now paying for The things I did and I saw Would make the earth stand still Don't call my name It makes me feel so ashamed I lost my sweet helping hand I got myself to blame Always lived, very quiet life Ain't never did no wrong But now I know that very quiet life Has cost me nothing but harm One night of sin, yeah Is what I'm now paying for The things I did and I saw Would make the earth stand still Always lived, very quiet life Ain't never did no wrong But now I know that very quiet life Has cost me nothing but harm One night of sin, yeah Is what I'm now paying for The things I did and I saw Would make the earth stand still
