And could you stand the pain? Could you put your faith in Jesus When you're burning in the flames? I said yes 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 C'mon 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, 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, hmm yeah I thought I saw an angel cry, hmm You'll never make a saint of me Never make a saint of me Never make a saint of me
