I'm not one minute over sixteen years old
And he's calling me "little whore" and mean names
If I dance on Saturday night, do I need to confess that or something?
Do I deserve a spanking as penitence?
Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine1
Even if it's basically true that I'm no angel
Like the ones on that ceiling that Michelangelo painted,
Why blame me for original sin?
I'm not too ugly or anything, and it would be such a waste
Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
Don't judge me too harshly, I beg you!
Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine
Am I a demon? I don't know if it's true, but he said that too
But is my man himself even headed for heaven?
There's nothing wrong in wanting some company...
I'm nothing but a venial sin--but am I the only one on his soul?
Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine
Seminaries and convents, far away, what could he be doing?
Does he want me for a slave? Well, amen to that!
Today is Sunday, I love him, does he love me?
If the smoke is white, that means the answer is yes!
Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
Don't judge me too harshly, I beg you!
Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine, Suite Sistine

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
Don't judge me too harshly, I beg you!

1. The Vatican City's Sistine Chapel in French is the "Chappelle Sixtine", so "suite Sixtine" is almost a perfect homophone with "sweet sixteen" in English. Still, I translated it like this because it still almost sounds the same, but having the word Sistine in the song makes all the religious imagery make a little more sense.
