Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways
I acted like a lunatic for years
Lord knows I tried to be good
I'd keep my promises if only I could
Count your blessings that I can't rely on you

chorus :
And I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried
Clutch your pictures of the Pope
Pray to God for love and hope
Bring the virgin home for luck
Bolt the door to keep it shut

I've done things I never thought I'd do
Sure it helps to loose myself in you
A little time and I'll be alright
Come on sugar let's go out tonight
Forget the prespices and all that we've been through

chorus

That sinking feeling
When you are leaving
All I belive in
Walks out the door

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways
All that damage done and nothing left to save
And I tried and I tried

Clutch you picture of the Pope
(Just like I told you)
Pray to God for love and hope
(Just like I warned you)
Bring the virgin home for luck
(Just like I told you)
Bolt the door to keep it shut
(Just like I warned you)
