[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Saint Paul the persecutor
~#**************#~
Was a cruel and sinful man
~#**************#~
Jesus hit him with a blinding light
~#**************#~
And then his life began
~#**************#~
I said yes, I said yeah
~#**************#~
Augustine knew temptation
~#**************#~
He loved women, wine, and song
~#**************#~
And all the special pleasures
~#**************#~
Of doing something wrong
~#**************#~
I said yes, I said yeah
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I said yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
~#**************#~
Youll never make a saint of me
~#**************#~
Oh yeah, oh yeah
~#**************#~
Youll never make a saint of me
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
And could you stand the torture?
~#**************#~
And could you stand the pain?
~#**************#~
Could you put your faith in Jesus
~#**************#~
When youre burning in the flames?
~#**************#~
I said yes, mmm
~#**************#~
And I do believe in miracles
~#**************#~
And I wanna save my soul
~#**************#~
And I know that Im a sinner
~#**************#~
Im going to die here in the cold
~#**************#~
I said yes, I said yeah
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I said yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
~#**************#~
Youll never make a saint of me
~#**************#~
Oh yeah, oh yeah
~#**************#~
Youll never make a saint of me
~#**************#~
Oh yeah, oh yeah
~#**************#~
Youll never make a saint of me
~#**************#~
Oh yeah, oh yeah
~#**************#~
Youll never make a saint of me
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus]
~#**************#~
I thought I heard a angel cry
~#**************#~
I thought I saw a teardrop falling from his eye
~#**************#~
Come on now
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
John the Baptist was a martyr
~#**************#~
But he stirred up Herods hate
~#**************#~
And Salome got her wish
~#**************#~
To have him served up on a plate
~#**************#~
I said yes, yes, yeah
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I said yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
~#**************#~
Youll never make a saint of me
~#**************#~
Oh yeah, oh yeah
~#**************#~
Youll never make a saint of me
~#**************#~
Oh yeah, oh yeah
~#**************#~
Youll never make a saint of me
~#**************#~
Oh yeah, oh yeah
~#**************#~
Youll never make a saint of me
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus]
~#**************#~
I thought I heard a angel cry
~#**************#~
I thought I saw a teardrop falling from his eye
~#**************#~
I thought I saw a angel cry
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Youll never make a saint of me
~#**************#~
Youll never make a saint of me
~#**************#~
Youll never make a saint of me
~#**************#~
Never make a saint of me
