Saint Of Me

Saint Paul, the persecutor, was a cruel and sinful man
Jesus hit him with a blinding light
And then his life began
I said yes, I said yeah
Augustine knew temptation
He loved women, wine and song
And all the special pleasures of doing something wrong
I said yes, I said yeah

I said yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Yeah

And could you stand the torture?
And could you stand the pain?
Could you put your faith in Jesus when you're burning in the flames?
I said yes, mm
And I do believe in miracles
And I want to save my soul
And I know that I'm a sinner
I'm gonna die here in the cold
I said yes, I said yeah

I said yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me (ooh, ooh)

I thought I heard an angel cry (ooh, ooh)
I thought I saw a teardrop falling from his eye (ooh, ooh)
Mm, mm (ooh, ooh), mm-mm-mm
C'mon now

An' John the Baptist was a martyr
But he stirred up Herod's hate
And Salome got her wish to have him served up on a plate
I said yes (yes, I-), yeah, I said yeah

I said yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me

I thought I heard an angel cry
I thought I saw a teardrop falling from his eye, mm, yeah
I thought I saw an angel cry, mm, mm

Never make a saint of me, mm-hmm
Never make a saint of me, mm
