Lyric discussion by fairyinblacknwhite 

She's spent a lot of her life trying to be good, tring to mend her wicked ways, but she just doesn't seem to be able to be good. She tries really hard, but she just keeps going bad. She's even surprised herself by some of the things she's done (done things I never thought I'd do). It helps to be with this guy, but she's afraid of corrupting him. So she tells him to hold on to religion and being good so that she won't turn him wicked (Clutch your pictures of the pope...etc). At the same time, she tries to persuade him to stay with her (Come on, Sugar, let's go out tonight) because, when he leaves, she's miserable (That sinking feeling, when you are leaving...). She's accepted herself as a bad person, but she hasn't given up on him. She's trying to be with him and save him from herself at the same time.
