Chorus 1
Seven, seven, seven--deadly sins,
That's how the world begins.
Watch out when you step in,
For seven deadly sins.
Seven deadly sins,
That's when the fun begins.
(Seven deadly sins).
Verse 1
(Sin number one) was when you left me,
(Sin number two) you said goodbye.
(Sin number three) was when you told me a little white lie.
Chorus 2
Seven deadly sins;
Once it starts,
It never ends (seven deadly sins).
Watch out around the bend (seven deadly sins);
The seven deadly sins.
(Seven deadly sins).
Verse 2
(Sin number four) was when you looked my way,
(Sin number five) was when you smiled.
(Sin number six) was when you let me stay,
Sin number seven was when you touched me,
Drove me wild.
Chorus 3
Seven deadly sins;
So many rules to bend.
Time and time again;
Seven deadly sins.
Seven deadly sins,
(Seven deadly sins).
(Seven deadly sins),
(Seven deadly sins).
Instrumental solo
Chorus 4
Seven deadly sins,
That's how the world begins (Seven deadly sins).
Watch out when you step in (Seven deadly sins),
For seven deadly sins.
Coda
Seven (seven); seven (seven); seven (seven); seven (deadly sins).
Notes:
1. Though it was their second release, the album was mischievously titled Vol. 3 by
George Harrison. According to Jeff Lynne, "That was George's idea. He said, 'Let's confuse
the buggers.'"
