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
