Verse:   Talking out loud in a motel room   but no one is listening   the bed is unmade and the curtains are drawn   and the wind is whistling      Chorus:   under cover the lover is waiting   but I can't turn away   I've been loving the sinner   hating the sin   loving the sinner yeah      I know there's somewhere a man waits for her   in misery   and I can try all I want to   find the will   but there aint no sympathy, no   under cover the lover is crying   but I can't question why   I've been loving the sinner   and hating the sin   loving the sinner and hating the sin   hold me back until the trouble begins   loving the sinner and hating the sin      I know somewhere a man waits for her   wonder where she can be   and I tried so hard to find the will   but there ain't no sympathy, no   under cover the lover is laughing   just got me where she wants me now   I've been loving the sinner   and hating the sin   loving the sinner and hating the sin   hold me back until the trouble begins   I tried so hard and I don't want it to end   I tried so hard and I cant' let it go   I tried so hard and I cant' let it go   I can't let it go, I can't let it go   I tried so hard and I cant' let it go oh no
