Saint Of Me

(jagger/richards)



Saint paul the persecutor

Was a cruel and sinful man

Jesus hit him with a blinding light

And then his life began

I said yeah

I said yeah



Augustin knew temptation

He loved women, wine and song

And all the special pleasures

Of doing something wrong

I said 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



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



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



I thought i heard an angel cry

I thought i saw a teardrop falling from his eye



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

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

I thought i saw an angel cry



You'll never make a saint of me

You'll never make a saint of me
