One Night Of Sin
The Willy Deville Acoustic Trio Lyrics

One night of sin
I am suffering the consequences of an immoral act that I committed only once.

Is what I'm now paying for
I am experiencing the results of my wrongdoing and I am suffering the consequences.

The things I did and saw
I engaged in activities that were morally wrong and witnessed things that were also immoral.

Would make the earth stand still
The things I experienced were so intense and scandalous, they would shock even the world itself to a standstill.

Don't call my name
Please do not refer to me or identify me, as it only adds to my deep sense of shame and regret.

It makes me feel so ashamed
Being labeled or called by name only further exacerbates my feelings of guilt and embarrassment.

I've lost my sweet helping hand
I no longer have the support and guidance from someone who has always been there for me and my soul feels lost and desperate.

I've got myself to blame
The only person at fault for my actions and the resulting consequences is myself.

I've always lived
I have led my life consistently in a certain way up until this one event.

A very quiet life
My lifestyle was peaceful and uneventful, without any major contraventions of moral guidelines.

I ain't never did no wrong
I have never intentionally violated any ethical or societal standards before this incident.

Now I know That sinful wild life
I have learned firsthand that living a life of immorality and recklessness only leads to negative consequences and trauma.

Would cause me nothing but harm
My indulgence in behavior outside the bounds of morality have only lead to severe repercussions and painful lasting effects on my life.

Tell me 'bout it feel
Please express empathy and understanding towards my situation, as it is only increasing my feelings of isolation and despair.

Oh yeah
An affirmation that the singer agrees with what has been said up until now.
