Lyrics
No Saint by Britt Connors
You’re a pebble in my shoe, I know what I should do
But I know I won’t shake you loose
I got blisters on my feet, the pain’s too sweet,
So I’m gonna run back to you
Devil’s whisperin’ in my ear, things I wanna hear
So I’m gonna run back to you
You can use me, I’ll use you - things I wanna do
But I won’t let you use me up
I’m hopeless, baby, I’m hopeless… yeah, I’m hopeless in your arms
But I won’t let you be the one to break my heart
You got trouble on your mind, I crave it all the time
You’re so good that I can’t resist
You helped me forget my past, but this can’t last
So we’re gonna keep having fun
I know you’re not Mister Right, but for tonight
Could you be my Mister Wrong
You get right under my skin, if that’s a sin
I ain’t lookin’ to be No Saint
I’m hopeless, baby, I’m hopeless… yeah, I’m hopeless in your arms
But I won’t let you be the one to break my heart
And I’m gonna be fine… cuz I’m not looking for conversation
Yeah, I’m gonna be fine… but no more talking tonight
I’m hopeless, baby, I’m hopeless… yeah, I’m hopeless in your arms
But I won’t let you be the one to break my heart
