You put a halo and wings around me
Now you say that I have gone bad
But while you were busy with business and booze
I lost the wings and the halo I had.

You say I went from a saint to a sinner
But you can't blame me for it all
You were the teacher, I was just a beginner
You don't know how it hurt me to fall.

You didn't think that your angel could wander
But I'm just like you, flesh and blood
While you had your drinkin' your buddies and business
I guess I had too much time all alone.

You say I went from a saint to a sinner
But you can't blame me for it all
You were the teacher, I was just a beginner
You don't know how it hurt me to fall...
