There Is No Greater Sin
There Is No Greater Sin"
She's a poor man's daughter she don't do the world no harm
She goes to church on Sunday and no one has to twist her arm
And you sit there and boast of how
you'll wreck her when you're through-ooo ahh
Ah there is no greater sin than what you're trying to do
She's so young and innocent she'd let a captured fly go free
So if you want to conquer something climb a mountain or swim a sea
Being a man's important from a young boy's point of view-ooo ahh
Yes there is no greater sin than what you're trying to do
< harpsichord break and ooos >
Leave that pretty flower be don't pick her 'for she's grown
Find yourself a wildflower leave the other kind alone
Temptation's way can make her old before her time is do-ooo ahh
And there is no greater sin than what you're trying to do
Nah there is no greater sin than what you're tryyying to do
She's a poor man's daughter she don't do the world no harm
She goes to church on Sunday and no one has to twist her arm
And you sit there and boast of how
you'll wreck her when you're through-ooo ahh
Ah there is no greater sin than what you're trying to do
She's so young and innocent she'd let a captured fly go free
So if you want to conquer something climb a mountain or swim a sea
Being a man's important from a young boy's point of view-ooo ahh
Yes there is no greater sin than what you're trying to do
< harpsichord break and ooos >
Leave that pretty flower be don't pick her 'for she's grown
Find yourself a wildflower leave the other kind alone
Temptation's way can make her old before her time is do-ooo ahh
And there is no greater sin than what you're trying to do
Nah there is no greater sin than what you're tryyying to do
