It's a Sin
Brent Spiner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Be sure it's true when you say, 'I love you'
It's a sin to tell a lie
Millions of hearts have been broken
Just because these words were spoken

I love you, yes, I do, I love you
If you break my heart I'll die
So be sure that it's true when you say, 'I love you'
It's a sin to tell a lie

(Awesome Patrick Stewart Voice Over!)

I love you, yes, I do, I love you
If you break my heart I'll die




So be sure that it's true when you say, 'I love you'
It's a sin to tell a lie

@kendallrivers1119

You know a cast is tight knit offscreen when one member puts out an album and four other castmates end up doing vocals on it lol.

@Elly3981

Well, the other cast members aren't as good as Brent with singing so they basically have to hum in the background lol.

@toadofsteel

Aside from Spiner and Stewart, the other backup vocals are Frakes, Dorn, and Burton.

@Zenith1987

I wonder who's the bass? ;-)

@IncredibleFlyinSquid

Bass is probably Dorn.

@mizuhoamvs

On the album they are listed as The Sun Spots!
