Carly Simon - Just A Sinner lyrics

(mark klingman) Today i was gonna conquer the world, Go on ahead and make a stand. Today i saw an old friend a dyin' 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 was the one who understands, You were my one and only man. I was lost, now i'm the winner. You stand there waitin' 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 Feelin' like the one they left behind, So i called you up, You left your love and took me away, 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 dyin', And as he lay there, no one lent a hand.
