Just a Sinner

Just a Sinner - Carly Simon

Today I was gonna conquer the world

Go on ahead and make a stand

Today I saw an old friend a dying

And as he lay there no one lent a hand

I'm gonna call you up

You'll forsake the one you love

Though I've left you many times before

You are just a sinner

I am the one who understands

You were my one and only man

I was lost now I'm the winner

You stand there waiting by the shore

But I don't come that way no more

Because you are just a sinner

Today I was gonna hold out my hand

Reach up for that light and let it shine

Today I have no light to guide me

Feeling like the one they left behind

So I called you up

You left your love and took me anyway

Though I've left you many times before

You are just a sinner

I am the only one you see

You were the only one for me

I was lost now I'm the winner

You'll keep the candle burning bright

But I won't be home tonight

Because you are just a sinner

Today I was gonna conquer the world

Go on ahead and make a stand

Today I saw an old friend a dying

And as he lay there no one lent a hand
