Lyrics for Savior

You dress me up in a nurse's outfit It rides and sticks to my thighs and my hips You put me in a teacher's little denim skirt Ruler and desk so I can make it hurt But I keep you on your best behavior Honey, I can't be your savior Love you to the grave and farther Honey, I am not your martyr You dress me in a nun's black outfit Hail Mary past, 'cause you know I grab it Hand me a badge, and a little billy club Like I'm supposed to book you on a hit-and-run Adore you to the grave and farther Honey, I can't be your martyr Maybe it's just human nature But honey, I can't be your savior But then you say, "Please" Then you say, "Please" Dress me in leather Oh, that's a little better But that's still not it None of this shit fits But I keep you on your best behavior Honey, I can't be your savior Love you to the grave and farther Honey, I am not your martyr But then you say, "Please" Then you say, "Please" "Please" "Please" "Please" (They call me a strange girl, and they speak to me in verses) "Please" (I got 'em tryin' to save the world, they said, "girl, you're not Jesus") "Please" (They call me a strange girl, and they speak to me in verses) (I got 'em tryin' to save the world, they said, "girl, you're not Jesus") "Please" (They call me a strange girl, and they speak to me in verses) I got 'em tryin' to save the world, they said, "girl, you're not Jesus" "Please" (I got 'em tryin' to save the world) "Please" (They call me a strange girl, and they speak to me in verses) "Please" (I got 'em tryin' to save the world, they said, "girl, you're not Jesus")
