Wicked Ways

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways Acted like a lunatic for years Lord knows I try to be good I'd keep my promises if only I could You count your blessings that I can't rely on you 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 down, keep it shut I've done things I never thought I'd do Sure it helps to lose myself in you A little time and I'll be all right C'mon sugar let's go out tonight Forgive your trespasses And all that we've been through And I tried And I tried And I tried And I tried 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 down, keep it shut That sinking feeling When you are leaving All I believed in Walks out my door I tried hard to mend my wicked ways The damage's done, there's nothing left to save And I tried And I tried And I tried And I tried And I tried And I tried And I tried Clutch your pictures 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 down, keep it shut (just like I warned you)
