I ain't no saint, I can't turn the other cheek I ain't no saint, can't turn the other cheek But you could cool my temper By the words I hear you speak
Tell you straight from the shoulder, straight from the hip If I'm falling over, she makes the pieces fit If I get arrested or in some legal twist She talks to the judge and gets the case dismissed
I ain't no saint Won't make it through the pearly gates But I feel alright down hear Lord I think heaven's gonna have to wait
Don't tell me how to make a living Don't lock her love up with a key If I'm down my head is spinning Don't call a doctor or a priest
I ain't no saint, won't tow the party line I ain't no saint, won't tow the party line But you get my nomination Every single time
Tell you straight from the shoulder, straight from the hip Believe the tallest stories if I hear it from your lips Don't need to worry about this crazy shape I'm in This tender magic surely gives me a thrill
I ain't no saint Won't make it through the pearly gates But I feel alright down here, Lord I think heavens gonna have to wait
