Letra de 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

Chorus:
Clutch your pictures of the pope
Pray to God for the 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 lose myself in you
A little time and I'll be all right
C'mon sugar let's go out tonight
Forgive your trespassers and all that we've been through

I tried
And I tried (7x)

Repeat chorus:

That sinking feeling when you are leaving
All I believe in walks out my door

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways
The damage's done, there's nothing left to save

Oh I tried
And I tried (7x)

Clutch your pictures of the pope (just like I told you)
Pray to God for the 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)
