I was kissed by a rose I bit that apple I know I should repent But stricken by love I drank that poison I'll live but I lament All these years It ain't been easy That I will confess So cheated by time Bitten by alcohol Still I do my best But please don't wait For me in heaven I might not get in Some are saved Some forgiven But you're my original sin I know I'm not A great believer My fate is signed and sealed Surrounded by clouds Rain and thunder All will be revealed And when the Lord In all his wisdom Looks upon my face I'll look him in the eyes And I'll plead guilty For all the human race But please don't wait For me in heaven I might not get in Some are saved Some forgiven But you're my original sin Please don't wait For me in heaven I might not get in Some are saved Some forgiven You're my original sin I was kissed by a rose I bit that apple I know I should repent I know I should repent I know I should repent Please don't wait For me in heaven I might not get in Please don't wait For me in heaven I might not get in So please don't wait for me in heaven I might not get in Some are saved Some forgiven But I might not get in I might not get in I might not get in I might not get in
