[Verse 1]
You know how us Catholic girls can be
We make up for so much time, a little too late
I never forgot it, confusing as it was

[Verse 2]
I sang Alleluia in the choir (Alleluia)

[Chorus]
We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did
[Bridge]
What I learned I rejected, but I believe again

We all needed something to cling to
So we did
We all had delusions in our heads
We all had our minds made up for us
We had to believe in something
So we did
We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did
[Outro]
So we did
Ooh-ooh, I, I, I
So we did
