As God is watching, I'm committing several sins a day
And I commit them even as I'm sitting down to pray
I must admit that I committed several on the way
Oh, how am I to pay for several sins a day?
I know He disapproves of how I'm dressing when I wake
He's adding to His list with all the apples I don't bake
And certainly He's noticing the babies I don't make
Oh, how am I to pay for several sins a day?
There're heating spikes on which to hook me
Stirring pots in which to cook me for my wicked ways
With toothaches, headaches, cramps, and splinters
Hotter summers, colder winters plaguing all my days
It's not that I believe in them, I'd be a fool to
But could it hurt to say an extra prayer in shul today?
It's worth the price if I can get the learning that I crave
Even though I know my father's turning in his grave
It wouldn't hurt if I were also learning to be brave
For the time when I'll pay for my several sins a day
I can't believe I've come this far and no one's gotten wise
And seen through my disguise or caught me in the lies I tell
How long can I perpetuate this tampering with fate?
I fear the answers wait for me in Hell
As God is watching, I'm committing several sins a day
And I commit them even as I'm sitting down to pray
And I submit that I'm omitting several on the way
Oh, how am I to pay for several sins a day?
I know that I will have to pay for several sins a day
Someday I know I'll have to pay for several sins a day
I know that I will have to pay for several sins a day
Someday I know I'll have to pay for several sins a day
I know that I will have to pay for several sins a day
Someday I know I'll have to pay for several sins a day
