Little Sin Lyrics

Swimming in pride, my sweet thing.
It's such a pretty night for losing
Our innocence,
Our tenderness.
It's all been kissed away and

Now you know you're a free soul
And you can't fight that little sin.

Swinging your hips, you found out
It's easy as sin to put me down.
Don't roll your eyes.
Don't breathe a sigh.
You're not so shy.
So help me,

Now you know you're a free soul
And you can't fight that little sin.

So hard to wait just for a kiss.
Now we're the same, we're all regret.
No tenderness.
No innocence.
It's all been kissed away and

Now you know you're a free soul
And you can't fight that little sin.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I believe that it's about a girl that has lost her virginity to her boyfriend. Now that she's committed that "little sin", she's a "free soul". They've lost "our innocence, our tenderness". But now that it's happened, the girl enjoys it. She enjoys toying around with her boyfriend, but he's on to her little games. She's changed, now they're one and the same (they're no longer virgins), and they can no longer fight "that little sin"; i.e. they continue to enjoy sex, which when out of wedlock, is looked down upon by most Christian denominations. Keeping in mind that the vocalist was raised Basptist, but he had a falling out of sorts with it. Just look up the lyrics for 'Backslider'.

this seems like the girl left him and she's rubbing it in. he's looking at her with resentment.

''you can't fight that little sin" --can't leave well enough alone, you have to constantly remind me of what i've lost.
