"You Gotta Sin To Get Saved" lyrics - MARIA MCKEE

Well ya been my Romeo ever since we were in school
An' ev'ry good thing I've ever felt you have made me feel
Well it's not that I don't love you, I'll love you honey 'til I die
But I could never be your bride 'til I tame my wicked side

[Chorus:]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Honey show some faith
You gotta sin to get saved

Well I could never shame you honey you're my pride and joy
But what's a girl to do now Daddy
I'm drownin' in a sea of boys
Well there ain't no harm in lookin'
But I look too close sometimes
I'll never fix my rovin' eye 'til I tame my wicked side

[Chorus]

Now I pray the Lord won't scorn me if I make an honest vow
To someday wear a dress of white
'Cause scarlet is what I'm wearin' now
Well it's not that I don't love you, I'll love you honey 'til I die
But I could never be your bride 'til I tame my wicked side

[Chorus]
