Lyrics
(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
