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

Augustin knew temptation
He loved womenwine and song
And all the special pleasures
Of doing something wrong
I said yeah
I said yeah
I said yeahoh yeahoh yeah
You ll never make a saint of me
Oh yeahoh 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 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 yeahoh yeahoh yeah
You ll never make a saint of me
Oh yeahoh yeah
You ll never make a saint of me
Oh yeahoh yeah

Oh yeahoh 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
