My Sin Is Ecstasy

My soul stripped bare for all to see

My sin is ecstasy

My soul lies naked

I want you much

I confess I shudder

At your touch

As you whisper in my ear

I know I have not a thing to fear

But your rejection when the night is through

Tell me, tell me

What do I do?

Now that you have shown me

You sin, too, is ecstasy

I don't know how to talk to you

I'm unsure of what to do

I guess you kind of intimidate me

I know you don't mean to

That I can see

You say you don't know why

You feel towards me

Like you want to bring me ecstasy

We got together for old times sake

You know not of the rhymes I make

We laughed and joked like we used to

It was so good to see you

Only later did we learn

That the night was to take another turn

Your touch on my skin caused me to digress

Said you: "I only want to see your happiness"

Our lips met, our hands explored

Soon we were making love on the floor

My soul stripped naked for all to see

That my sin is my ecstasy

I never wanted to cause you pain

That is why this cannot happen again

I never wanted to cause you strife

I never intended to screw up your life

Confused and scared is what I feel

But you still wanted me to hear your appeal

As to why we should be together forever

A life with you I can have never

I cannot take you away from your family

Because it's my sin ecstasy

As you turned to go

You said that you loved me so

If you love me, I said

Let me go

Now is not the time to know

Whether I made the right choice

If you'd only listen to my voice

Then you may finally see

That we share this sin

Of ecstasy
