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
