Heaven holds a place for whores who pray

The story:

I watched an episode of the O.C. and was reminded of "The Graduate" because the mom has an affair with a young guy. I remembered that this song was in that movie so I was singing it and my friend looked at me funny. I did convince her that my way was right because in the movie she is whore-ish. But later that day I looked up the lyrics and I found out I was wrong...very wrong.
