Pure Sin

Carly Simon · Spy [1979]

I can barely see your sneakers

You say I've got to keep my head down

You're painting my portrait

In a red velvet gown



How do you see me

As demure and discreet

Well do you know what I'll do

Do you know what I'll do

When I go out in the street



Pure sin, pure sin

The kind you won't mind

But the kind there could be trouble in



I can barely see your sneakers

You know they look pretty rough

Well I bet when you get loaded

You can get pretty tough



You pass me the caviar

Say "Hey, do you want something to eat?"

Well do you know what I'll do

Do you know what I'll do

When I go out in the street



Pure sin, pure sin

The kind you won't mind

But the kind there could be trouble in



I can barely see your sneakers

You're dripping paint all over the place

Why not get right to the point

And splash it right on my face



How do you see me

As silly and sweet

But do you know what I'll do

Do you know what I'll do

When I go out oi the street



Pure sin, pure sin

The kind you won't mind

The kind there could be trouble in
