Little Sin
Toadies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swimming in pride, my sweet thing
It's such a pretty night for losing
Our innocence, our tenderness
It's all been kissed away

And now you know you're a free soul
And you can't fight that little sin
Swinging your hips, you found out
It's easy as sin to put me down
Don't roll your eyes, don't breathe a sigh
You're not so shy so help me

Now you know you're a free soul
And you can't fight that little sin

So hard to wait just for a kiss
Now we're the same, we're all regret
No tenderness, no innocence
It's all been kissed away





And now you know you're a free soul
And you can't fight that little sin
