To Speak is a Sin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We've been around forever
Look at us now together
Ordering drinks at the bar
Saying hello to man friends
Smiling across a friends' friends
Ordering drinks at the bar

[Chorus]
To speak is a sin
You look first, then stare
And once in a while
A smile, if you dare

[Verse 2]
We'll stand around forever
Regardless of time or weather
Ordering drinks at the bar
Looking for love and getting
Nothing that's worth regretting
But wondering why we travel so far

[Chorus]
To speak is a sin
You look first, then stare
And once in a while
A smile, if you dare
[Chorus]
To speak is a sin
You'd better beware
But once in a while
A smile, if you dare

[Chorus]
To speak is a sin
You look first, then stare
And once in a while
A smile, if you dare

[Chorus]
To speak is a sin
You'd better beware
But once in a while
A smile, if you dare

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
