When I was just a little girlnMy mother said to menJust before she tucked me into bednAs she leaned in closenI felt her lips upon my cheeknAnd softly these six words are what she saidnnYou're gonna suffer for my sinsnYou're gonna suffer for my sinsnThere is no escaping thisnIt comes from deep withinnYou're gonna suffer for my sinsnnPredictably those cursed words did haunt me everydaynNo matter what, no matter where I hidnI spend my years believing that there was no other waynBut suffering and suffering's what I didnnOh yes, I suffered for her sinsnThat's right, i suffered for her sinsnThere is no escaping thisnIt comes from deep withinnAnd so I suffer for her sinsnn30 years have passed since mama brought me to this worldnThat's 30 years spent trapped inside this shellnAnd nobody believes menThey think I'm a foolish girlnBut there are many different kinds of hellnnAnd now I suffer for her sinsnOh yes I suffer for her sinsnnThere is no escaping thisnIt comes from deep withinnAnd so I suffer for her sinsnOh now I suffer for her sinsnOh yes I suffer for her sinsnnThere is no escaping thisnIt comes from deep withinnAnd so I suffer for her sinsnOh yes I suffer for her sins
